If you or another person got hurt, would you know what to do? Injuries usually happen without much warning. Often people get hurt when they don't follow safety rules. If someone gets hurt, you may be able to help.

What actions can you take in an emergency?

An emergency (ih-MeR-juhnt-see) is a situation in which help is needed right away, A fire is an emergency, Someone drowning is an emergency. Often in emergencies people are injured.

These are some different kinds of emergencies:

severe burns
stopped breathing
stopped heartbeat
drowning
poisoning
broken bone
severe bleeding
fire

In an emergency you must act quickly. You must also stay calm so you can make good decisions. The first thing to do is to call for help. If possible, tell an adult such as a parent, teacher, or neighbor. If you can't find an adult, dial 911 or another emergency phone number.

To help you act quickly in an emergency, make a list of emergency phone numbers, and post the list near or on your telephone. Find the emergency numbers for your area.

Include these numbers on your list:

fire department
police
poison control center
hospital
doctor
dentist

In an Emergency:

Tell an adult, if possible.
Call 911 or another emergency number.
Stay calm, and decide what to do next.

In many cities you can dial 911 in an emergency. If your city has 911 service, you don't need to call the doctor, hospital, fire department, or police. You call 911. The 911 operator will send the right kind of help to you and will tell you what to do next.

When you call the emergency operator, stay calm and speak slowly and clearly. Try to answer the operator's questions as completely as possible. Don't hang up until you are told to do so. Read the note below to find out what information you need to give the operator.

Dialing for Help

The operator will need to know

your name
the phone number you are calling from
what the problem is
the address where you are
a family member's name and phone number

How can you help someone who is hurt?

When someone has been injured, you sometimes need to give first aid while you wait for help to arrive. This immediate treatment of an injury is called first aid. Always remember to wash your hands before giving first aid to yourself or others.

One common injury that you probably have had is a wound. A wound (WOOND) is a cut or break in the skin. The first thing you should do to treat a wound is stop the bleeding. It is important not to touch another person's blood, so don't use your bare hand. Use a clean folded cloth, and press down hard on top of the wound. If you don't have a clean cloth, put the injured person's hand on the wound. Place your hand on top of his or her hand, and press down hard until the bleeding stops. Do not touch blood unless you are wearing gloves.

First Aid Kit

adhesive bandages
antibiotic ointment
bandage scissors
gauze patches
rubber gloves
soap
tweezers

One way to prepare for an emergency is to put together a first-aid kit. A first-aid kit contains the supplies you need for treating injuries. A first-aid kit should be kept where it can be found quickly. It is helpful to have a first-aid kit in your home and another in your family's car or truck. You should also take a first-aid kit when you hike or camp.

First Aid for Minor Injuries

Small Cuts and Scrapes

Stop the bleeding.
Wash the cut or scrape with soap and water.
Dry the wound. You may apply antibiotic ointment or cream to kill germs.
Put on a clean, dry bandage.
Change the bandage every day. Change it more often if it gets wet or dirty.

Blisters

Do not open or pop the blister.
Clean the area around the blister with soap and water.
Dry the area. Put a clean bandage over it.

Use a lot of cold water to cool the burned area. Do not use ice or ice water.
Carefully dry the area.
Place a clean bandage loosely over the burn.
Don't break burn blisters.
Don't use ointments on burns.

REMEMBER...When someone gets injured, you can take steps to get help or give first aid. You can use what you learn to help yourself and others.
