Death is linked with fire, earthquakes, car accidents and the like. You may probably have experienced, first hand, the disasters mentioned or perhaps you know of someone who amy have experienced these. A man may experience these awful scenarios more than once in his life and he goes into the stages of grieving which are never easy. These are accidents, some may be accidental or really out of control by the hand of man and others are simply planned. All of us should be alert of the possible danger that we might experience when we are in the situation ourselves whether they are planned or not. Safety is basically an intuition that man have had since the prehistoric era and it is that gut feeling that keeps man alive and well adapted to the environment.
The first thing that you should do is to secure yourself in a safe place in cases of fire, car accidents, or earthquakes. Making sure that the environment is safe before responding or going out of hiding should be the first priority whether you are a victim or a rescuer. Picture yourself being caught in a car accident; you are one of the few who escaped the clashing of two vehicles with only abrasions. You hid under the shade on one of the trees nearby as you wait for the paramedics to rescue you.
Make sure that there is no leaking engine, fire, or metal pieces that could possibly place you at risk to be injured before you come out. Next thing to do is to call the EMS or 911 to inform them of the said incident. A tip: never ever make yourself a hero by risking your own safety, have in mind that you are a key person in informing the authority and rescuers of the incident, by that, you can actually save more people.
Avoid rescuing or doing BLS (Basic Life Support) to the other injured victims unless you are a medical personnel or you are trained for this. Remember, doing a CPR can cause fractured ribs, bruising, and worse could be possible complication of the persons condition which can be irreversible and can lead to death of the major organs.
You only add insult to injury. Let the professionals deal with that. You can actually be of great help in providing details about the incident when the paramedics come. You can avoid further mortality by not being a victim yourself.
