10 Things to Remember in an Emergency
In a high-stress emergency situation, it's crucial to have a clear plan and prioritize your actions. Here are the top 10 things to remember during an emergency:
- Stay Calm: Panic can cloud your judgment. Take deep breaths and try to stay as calm as possible.
- Safety First: Prioritize your safety and the safety of those around you. Move away from immediate danger if possible.
- Call for Help: Dial emergency services (e.g., 911 in the United States) if needed. Provide clear and accurate information about the emergency.
- Follow Instructions: If authorities or emergency personnel are present, follow their instructions promptly and without question.
- Evacuate if Necessary: If directed to evacuate, do so immediately and use designated evacuation routes. Do not use elevators during fires or earthquakes.
- Stay Informed: Keep updated with reliable information sources. Use a battery-powered or hand-cranked radio if necessary.
- Communicate: Let family and friends know you're safe if possible, using text messages or social media if phone lines are congested.
- First Aid and CPR: If trained and it's safe to do so, provide first aid or CPR to those in need.
- Emergency Kit: If time allows, gather essential items such as medications, important documents, a flashlight, and non-perishable food and water.
- Help Others: If safe and able, assist those who may require help, especially children, the elderly, or individuals with disabilities.
These ten principles provide a solid foundation for responding to various emergency situations. However, remember that the specific actions you should take can vary depending on the type of emergency, so it's essential to be prepared and familiar with the potential hazards in your region. Having a well-thought-out emergency plan and supplies in advance can greatly improve your ability to respond effectively during a crisis.

My work had Michael come in from this company to teach CPR & First Aid and we all were very appreciative for his cheerfulness and the time he took to elaborate and teach. I have taken a CPR class earlier this year and did not feel confident whatsoever but Michael really took the time to make us feel confident in saving a life. Great company great employees!

This group of people is amazing. They are not only patient but very thoughtful and knowledgable about what they do. I have a newborn and a 5 year old at home and thought it would be a good idea to gain some knowledge in case of an emergency. This new information gives me the piece of mind that I can handle scary situations in case they come up. Thanks Emergency Response Training Services for the work that you do I hope you're around for years to come to help others as you have helped me!
