TIPS ON MAKING YOUR “EMERGENCY ACTION” PLAN 1. BE AWARE… Make sure it’s safe to approach area and victim. Use your senses… Listen for cries for help; screams; moans; explosions; breaking glass; crashing metal; gunshots; high winds; popping, humming or buzzing noises; lots of coughing, etc. Look for broken glass; open medicine cabinet, container or bottle near victim; smoke; fire; vapors or mist; downed power lines, etc. Watch for signs like trouble breathing; trouble talking; grabbing at throat or chest; pale or blue color in face, lips or ears; lots of people covering mouth or running away, etc. Smell smoke or something burning; strong odors or vapors (leave if odor is too strong), etc. Feel something burning your eyes, lungs or skin, etc.
