How to react in an emergency
In an emergency, it’s important to stay calm and assess the situation first. Check the scene for any immediate dangers. Call for help using the nearest ambulance service number provided above, making sure to clearly describe the location and the condition of the injured.
If you know basic first aid, help stabilize the injured while waiting for professional help to arrive. Keep them comfortable and try to control any bleeding.
If someone has been impaled by an object, do not attempt to remove the object. Removing it could cause more damage and increase bleeding. Instead, stabilize the object by padding around it with clean cloth or bandages, and keep the person as still as possible until emergency services arrive.
If you are near a university, try seeking shelter as they may have a medical center that can tend to wounds.
In these critical moments, quick and coordinated action can make all the difference.
