1b
- Tormenta de nieve
- En una tormenta de nieve, asegúrese de que las puertas están cerradas y todas las ventanas están arriba. Use agua un poco a la vez y apagar el motor del vehículo para evitar la intoxicación por monóxido de carbono. Cuando la nieve se detiene, salir del vehículo y limpiar la nieve del techo, el capó, el baúl y las ventanas. Esto permitirá que otros puedan ver el vehículo y permitirán la luz del sol para calentar el interior.
- Desierto
- Salga del vehículo y encuentre sombra. Si es necesario, busque refugio en la sombra de su vehículo. Trate de mantenerse hidratado bebiendo agua. Si se queda sin agua, tal vez puede recogerla del vehículo por la mañana cuando haya rocío. En vez de racionar su agua, beba todo lo que pueda cuando pueda. En lugar de arrojar su ropa, póngase más para mantener la humedad de su cuerpo. Manténgase cerca del vehículo. No trate de ir caminando a la estación de gasolina que cree que pasó «hace dos kilómetros». Fácilmente podría haber sido hace 10 kilómetros.
1c
Póngase en contacto con la policía y mantenga la calma. Manténgase fuera del tráfico. Si está disponible, ponga bengalas para alertar a otros conductores del peligro por delante.
1d
Párese en un lugar seguro, como debajo de una mesa pesada o en una puerta y lejos de objetos que puedan romperse. Mantenga la calma. Si está afuera, permanezca lejos de edificios y líneas eléctricas.
1e
Aprenda la ruta más segura para viajar, alojándose en un terreno más alto y lejos de zonas bajas. Desconecte los aparatos y equipos eléctricos, o apague el interruptor principal. Conozca advertencias públicas en su área. No intente cruzar un arroyo inundado, como uno que está en la carretera. El agua es muy fuerte y puede barrer incluso un camión pesado en un instante. Si se encuentra siendo arrastrado por la corriente, trate de flotar sobre su espalda y conseguir sus pies en frente con los dedos fuera del agua para evitar que se atrapen. No trate de pararse en aguas rápidas, como si se cae y el pie queda atrapado por algo bajo el agua, la corriente lo mantendrá bajo el agua y no será capaz de levantarse. Use sus brazos para mantenerse a flote y para orientarse al banco.
1f
Vaya a un sótano o refugio para tormentas. Esté alerta a las condiciones climáticas. Esté familiarizado con los sistemas de alerta de la comunidad.

When a hurricane is forecast to strike your area, take steps to protect yourself. Put up shutters to protect your property and evacuate if advised to do so by local officials. Have a supply of non-perishable food and water on hand. Be aware of storm surge, which is caused when a hurricane temporarily raises the level of the ocean, sometimes by dozens of feet. Take shelter somewhere on high ground during the storm.
1h
Stay away from trees, tall objects, water, and objects made of metal (such as railing). If possible, get inside a building or in a car. If your hair stands on end, drop to your knees and place your hands on your knees. This will make you a smaller target for a lightning strike. Do not lay on the ground, as this will make you a larger target.
Do not use a traditional land-line telephone (cell phones are OK though). Stay away from windows. Do not take a shower or a bath during a thunderstorm.
1i
You will first need to decide if you should evacuate or take shelter. If the emergency is already underway, you will need to take shelter underground. If the emergency is pending, but likely, you should evacuate to a safe area without delay. Television and radio reports as well as the local law enforcement should be able to help you make this decision.
On an individual scale, one means of preparation for exposure to nuclear fallout is to obtain potassium iodide (KI) tablets as a safety measure to protect the human thyroid gland from the uptake of dangerous radioactive iodine. Another measure is to cover the nose, mouth and eyes with a piece of cloth and sunglasses to protect against alpha particles.

- Rock Avalanche
- Quickly exit the affected area. If escape is not possible, curl into a tight ball facing downhill (with your back to the oncoming rocks) and cover your head. When the landslide ends, check for trapped or injured persons without entering the slide area (more debris could follow). Direct rescue personnel to any victims you are able to locate. Watch for flooding - landslides are usually triggered by water. Watch for broken utility lines (electric, gas, and water) and report them to the authorities.
- Snow
- It is better to not travel in avalanche country, but if travel is necessary, risk can be reduced by observing avalanche safety rules and carrying proper equipment. This includes a radio beacon on every member of your party, and shovels. Radio beacons made for this purpose transmit constantly, and can be switched to receiver mode after an avalanche. These can help to find buried victims. Finding victims quickly and digging them out greatly increases their chances of survival. Avalanche snow compacts into a very hard mass very quickly after an avalanche, so a shovel is an essential piece of gear. It is next to impossible to dig someone out of an avalanche with bare hands or even with a ski, but if that is all you have available, you should start right away.
1k
Get as much of your body out of the water as quickly as possible. Get back to the boat immediately. If possible, right the boat, climb in, and bail it out. Otherwise, stay with the boat, as this will make it easier for a rescuer to find you. Do not attempt to swim to shore, as it is often a lot farther away than it appears.
2
Give your name, phone number, the nature of emergency, the location of the emergency, and whether any personal dangers or injuries are present. To make sure the police correctly attach you (and not someone else with a similar name) to the report you should also provide your birthdate and home address once the more important information is provided.
The person making the call to report an emergency should be the last to hang up the telephone. If you ever call 911 by accident do not hang up. Stay on the line and explain your mistake. Otherwise the police will send out a response you do not need, which could endanger others as emergency vehicles rush to your non-emergency.

Start by making a map of your house. Draw at least two escape routes for every room, making sure that the two routes do not cross a common area - otherwise, if the common area is affected you will not have a workable escape route.

Panic usually occurs because a person does not know how to react in a dangerous situation. Having a plan in place before an emergency occurs will help control panic. Practicing the plan ahead of time (such as with a fire drill) reinforces the plan in everyone's minds, so that the situation will feel more familiar if it really happens. Rather than thinking "Oh no! What do I do?!" a practiced person will think "Oh, yes. I know what to do."
If you find yourself in an emergency and feel yourself beginning to panic, try to calm down and use your head. Panic will only make things worse. If you see others beginning to panic, touch them, tell them to calm down, and tell them exactly what they should do. If they see that you are not in a panic and seem to know what to do, they will likely follow.
The best way to quickly evacuate a crowded building such as a church or a school is for everyone to calmly walk out in an orderly fashion. If everyone runs, panic is more likely to take over, and the exits will become jammed as people attempt to squeeze around one another. People have been killed by crowds stampeding out of a building in a panic.

Know where your children are all the time. Never leave children alone in cars. Establish a family code word. Tell the children never to go with anyone who does not know the code word. Have fingerprints taken of your children. Keep current photos and records (dental/medical). Make mental note of what your child wears every day. Make sure your children know their address and telephone number, and how to use the telephone. Teach them how to dial 9-1-1.
What to do if abducted: Yell - This person is not my father/mother. Kick the kidnapper's foot or knee. Scream "Fire!" as this is more likely to attract attention than screaming "Help!"
