1. Stay calm and assess the situation
-
Take a few slow breaths to avoid panicking
-
Look around and figure out what the danger is and what’s safe
-
Check yourself for injuries if relevant
Staying calm helps you think clearly and make better decisions.
2. Get help as soon as possible
-
Call emergency services right away if someone is in danger
-
If calling isn’t possible, text or message a trusted adult, neighbor, or family member
-
Use speaker mode if you need your hands free
Getting help early can make a big difference.
3. Move to safety and follow instructions
-
If there’s danger (fire, gas, unsafe area), move away if it’s safe to do so
-
Follow instructions from emergency responders or trusted adults
-
Don’t take unnecessary risks trying to fix everything yourself
Your safety comes first.
