WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY? First assess the situation quickly, then act. PREPAREDNESS is the key The time to read this is before an emergency strikes so that forewarned, you would know what to do as soon as danger threatens. NEVER PANIC! Staying calm is the most important rule of all. Panic can turn a problem into a tragedy. Panic will only make things worse. Staying calm allows you to think clearly to save your life or someone else's. IMPROVISE In any situation, if you do not have exactly what you need, be prepared to use whatever you can find. Look around for possible substitutes. WEIGH THE RISKS Sometimes in a crisis there is no absolutely safe way out. There may be no choice but to take one risk in order to avoid a greater one. In any emergency, only you, the person on the spot, can weigh the dangers of each possible course of action against the advantages and pick the best.
