Detailed explanation-1: -The most important thing to remember in an emergency is to STAY CALM and call 911. Make sure you know where you are and speak slowly and clearly. The dispatcher who answers your call will speak to you calmly. Don’t be alarmed, as the dispatcher is specially trained to remain calm.
Detailed explanation-2: -Even though you will need to act quickly and decisively, it is vital that you stay calm. This will not only ensure that you make good decisions, but it will also help whoever you are treating to stay calm. Panic can cause further injury and delay treatment. Stop and take account of the situation.
Detailed explanation-3: -The number one thing you can do to stay calm is to be relatively confident that you know what to do. Learn basic first aid, be prepared with (at least) basic supplies, learn some survival skills and download a few apps. The more you know the less likely you are to panic.
