Immediate Emergency Response Guide

01

Check Scene Safety

  • Assess immediate threats to yourself and the victim before approaching.
  • Look for hazards like traffic, fire, downed power lines, or aggressive behavior.
  • Only enter the area if you are certain it is safe for you to do so.
02

Call for Help

  • Alert emergency services (911 or local emergency number) immediately.
  • State your location clearly and describe the nature of the medical emergency.
  • Designate a specific person to call if bystanders are present.
03

Primary Assessment

  • Check for ABCs: Airway, Breathing, and Circulation.
  • Verify if the person is conscious and responding to verbal or tactile stimuli.
  • Identify life-threatening bleeding and apply direct pressure if necessary.
04

Basic Care Steps

  • Administer first aid based on your findings (CPR, wound care, or shock position).
  • Keep the victim warm, calm, and informed until professional help arrives.
  • Do not move the person unless they are in immediate danger.
