What to do in an Emergency

  • DO NOT MOVE THE PATIENT unless the area is not safe (fire, etc)

  • Tell the dispatcher your name, location and a telephone number you can be reached at. Be as precise as possible.

  • Describe to the best of your knowledge what happened & how.

  • Do not hang up until the dispatcher hangs up first.

  • Clear the area of people who are not relatives or witnesses.

  • Have someone await the arrival of the ambulance at the
    entrance to guide the ambulance crew in.

  • Ensure that all access paths are clear for the ambulance crew.
