Emergency Preparedness

You only perform a primary assessment in CPR. The primary assessment determines the immediate threats to life. The primary assessment is checking the ABC's and if there is severe bleeding. The secondary assessment is performed after threats to life are controlled. The secondary assessment is taught in First Aid.

While there are first aid professionals, that are called in to help, ideally, everyone shoud know a little first aid. Knowing just a little can save a life, reduce suffering, etc. At a scene, the most experienced person should be directing the effort. However I'll often yield the floor and let someone else run it before I'll get into an argument with another rescuer at a scene. In that instance, I'll only intrude if the procedures being undertaken endanger the patient.

You first call 911 or poison control (1-800-222-1222). Then you check the person's vitals. You put them into recovery position if they throw up. Collect samples of the throw up and the chemicals. also keep any empty contains that may have been consumed.

AED is an acronym that stands for Automated External Defibrillator. It is used to stop the heart's motion via electric shock, effectively hitting the hearts "reset" button. The heart then, hopefully restarts with normal activity. An AED cannot be used when a heart is in asystole, a state of no electrical activity. Also, an AED cannot be used in a moving vehical as that affects the analysis.

If body core temperature is low enough it could result in hypothermia.

Well as you obviously know you start to shake when your temperature drops, this then attempts to warm you up as you are moving your body

Senior citizens are most vulnerable risk groups in quick response to emergencies and awareness to life saving procedures to mitigate the seriousness of any fatality can be considerably reduced if they are taught simple first aid procedures.

They should be placed on there back. (The supine position)

Immediately after a shock, you will wait to follow the next instruction from the AED. After a shock, it will either immediately analyze again and possibly shock again, or direct you to check the patient for a pulse, and if none resume CPR.

Well, most houses have cought on fire sometime or another.That doesnt mean it was bad. I cant say I remember when it happened at my house, but ya my house cought on fire. Luckily it didnt burn enough to call for help but that prooves people should be more carefull with fire[weather they think so or not].

BAsic and handy stuff to have ready would be a hard hat, shortwave radio, dry food, plenty of water, canvas sheet for shelter, strong boots and out door clothes, candles/a good flash lamp that doesn't need batteries, a basic but useful first aid kit.

Yes, you can, for example, if you are a teen, which means you are currently enrolled in high school, you may be on wheel of fortune teens, go on the website, it'll say in the contestants category. Many other shows also let kids paarticipate, google game shows for kids and you will get some game shows. I hoped this helps!

We do not know. In 'The End' Sunny Baudelaire accuses Count Olaf of this crime and he replies "Is that what you think?"

and Sunny replies "We know so"

he then replies to that with "You know nothing"

When you are outside during an earthquake, it is best to just go under anything hard and safe.

If you are at a school or open area, avoid ANY trees, power lines, or buildings that could damage your head or back (or anything, really) in any way

and duck and cover. If you're in a car, stop the car and stay in the car.

Hope this helped!

A tornado watch is given out if general weather conditions favor the formation of tornadoes over the next few hours. A PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) tornado watch may be issued if conditions favor the formation of strong to violent tornadoes. A tornado watch usually covers an area at least the size of a state.

A tornado warning is issued if a tornado has been spotted or detected or the threat of one is imminent. A tornado emergency is an informal variety of tornado warning meaning that a large tornado is approaching a populated area and is expected to cause major damage. A tornado warning usually covers an area about the size of a county.

Tornadoes can lift people up, but they usually are thrown out of the vortex before being carried very high. Most of the people killed in tornadoes are struck or crushed by debris.

Income is important because with it, we can afford the things we desire, such as paying our rent or mortgages as well as pay our other bills, like car payments, life insurance, and the food and water that we consume.

The most destructive single tornado on record was the Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011 which causes $2.8 billion in damage. The most destructive level of tornado is an EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale (the Joplin tornado was an EF5). Such tornadoes wipe well-built houses clean off their foundations.

Ideally, you should have as many rolls as you need for 1 week for everyone using that bathroom (assuming you have someplace to keep it - otherwise in a nearby closet). Somewhere in the house should be a two to three-week supply that is replenished when it reaches one week's supply. Any more than that would probably be excessive.

*This is obviously more important if you have a preferred brand, in the event that it becomes temporarily unavailable.

Usually the AED will have a recommendation on it for the usage for which pads are available, however anyone who is pulseless under the age of 6 should use the child pads according to NYS EMS Protocols.

First of all warn others and send a distress signal.

Ensure that people are equipped to abandon the boat.

Fight the fire if it is safe to do so.

If the fire can not be extinguished, abandon the boat.

what is the cause of a heartattack ?

Always. If you witnessed the collapse, immediate application of the AED offers the best chance of successful defibrillation. If the patient does not need defibrillation (only two heart rhythms are shocked by an AED), the AED won't attempt it, so applying one can't hurt, and it may save a life.

Hook up the AED when the absence of a pulse is confirmed.

The team of first responders should exercise self-protection.
