5 steps to deal with emergency
All of us have been in an emergency at least once in our lifetime. Some dealt with it smarty and some couldn’t. We are not blaming anyone, it is not about the ability or efficiency to deal with an emergency but the awareness. We believe life is a gift and we must secure it. We come across many incidents that put us in trouble, today we will show you 5 steps that will help you deal with an emergency.
Think before you act
Usually, we panic during an emergency or such situation. While panicking every decision you make goes wrong due to lack of thought. You start acting on the very first idea that comes to your mind. In such situations quickly is required for sure, make sure it does not have disastrous results. To stay safe from all kinds of incidents we suggest thinking carefully before acting upon any idea. Take deep breathes and think twice about any plan. Stay in touch with your emergency calling number to ask for help.
Stay alert about your surroundings
If you watch movies, you must have seen some scenes where they teach people to use their surroundings during an emergency. Yes, our life is not a movie but it teaches us a lot. You can learn to react according to your surroundings. You must be aware of all the safe spaces around you where you can run during an emergency. Keep a note of hydrant, fire extinguisher, refuge area, open spaces, and many such things. Staying alert is crucial during an emergency, if you are aware of your surroundings only then you can act quickly.
Use your phone wisely
Now, this might be a shocker for you. Usually, people suggest staying away from the phone during an emergency. We believe you can always use technology to save your life. Mobile phones let you do so many things. Such as record the emergency scene, text message, and call your trusted contact. Out of various mobile apps, SafetyScope is one such emergency app that lets you record the emergency incident. You can quickly record the scene and it will directly connect to a video call to 5 of your trusted contact. This is a great way to inform them about the emergency and call for help.
Gather as many people as you can
This is a common way to deal with an emergency. With the world working 24x7, we need to work with it too. Although there are police who provide you safety at no fees, they take some time to arrive at the spot. If you find any incident suspicious you must shout and gather people. This will gather people who can help you get out of trouble. There are a lot of women who travel alone during the day or at night. They feel unsafe due to some fringe elements of society. Harassment and molestations are some common issues they face. We as a society must come together to help them feel safe. Whenever you find any incident that leads to harassment just come forward and help the person.
Use your skills at the scene
Sometimes you might witness incidents that need your help. You can help people using your skills. A weightlifter once helped a kid by lifting the tree branch that fell on him. Life is uncertain you never know when you can be of help to someone.
We believe safety is of prime importance, no matter who you are. People go through a lot of trauma in their life and harassment is the main cause for it. Let us all pledge together to make the world a better place for everyone.
