emergency is being observed by a number of other people.
First, "bystander" refers to a person nearby something, such as a crime, but not involved in that thing. "Passive" could either mean that the bystander is not active, inferring that the bystander should be doing something but is not -or- "passive" could also simply be emphasizing "bystander." Context should point to which of the above is true.
Any time you require assistance (especially from emergency services) you should give as much information as possible (and whoever answered your call should prompt you with questions). The very minimum information should include what kind of emergency it is (medical, fire, burglary; this is to find out what services should be sent), where you are, where the emergency is, any special circumstances (for example, if your house is on fire and you live next to a gas station that might be affected), your name and information, who is involved (is it you or are you a bystander), and you should keep the person you are calling updated on the situation.
An example of the bystander effect is when a person witnesses a crime or emergency situation but assumes someone else will intervene, leading to nobody taking action. This diffusion of responsibility can occur in crowded places where individuals feel less accountable for helping.

The punishment for a bystander's inaction should be determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the specific circumstances and level of harm caused. However, it could involve educational programs, community service, or fines to encourage a sense of responsibility and discourage passivity in the face of wrongdoing. Ultimately, the goal should be to promote a culture of active bystander intervention and discourage apathy.
