CHECK

  items.

  this person? Make sure you are also taking care
  of yourself!

  others around the scene for as much help as they
  can offer!

CALL

• Calling for help is often the most important
  action you can take to help an ill or injured
  person.
• Call 911 or the local emergency number (If there
  are other people at the scene, ask someone else
  to call for you to help!)
• Make sure you give the 911 operator the correct
  information about your location, the emergency,
  and any other information you are able to give
  about the emergency!
