Do not move the head, moving it could cause more damage. Immediately call 911 and request an ambulance.
If for some reason you are in a rush circumstance (fire, flood, tornado, etc) or remote area (forest, mountains, ocean, etc), you will have to be very careful. If available, apply a splint or head restraint that will keep the head in its current position. Household items such as pillow and blankets can be duct taped for this purpose, as could sleeping bags. If possible, assist the person into a vehicle and lay them down, assuming that this does not require them to move their head. Get to the nearest emergency room or hospital as soon as possible. If there is not one in the area, get to the nearest area of communication where you can request an ambulance.
Remember that a broken neck varies in degree of incapacitation of the person from soreness to asphyxiation. The spinal column could be severely damaged, which could result in paralysis. The person's airways could also be blocked by the break, another reason that medical attention must be sought quickly.
