Planning for an EmergencyDue to their unexpected nature, emergency situations are often chaotic. People react to different situations in different ways, and it is very common for an individual to lose his or her composure during a crisis and forget the appropriate actions to take. Although it is a good idea to have an emergency plan in place, one should also have a very basic concept of what to do in the event of an emergency. Each emergency situation is different, but there are basic guidelines that can help you through any incident, situation or event that might occur. There are an endless number of emergencies that can occur. Preparing is one of the most important steps, but sometimes emergencies occur no matter how prepared you may be – that is why it is important to know the first and most important things to do during any emergency.
