After an explosion, look out and help others identify blast hazards like:
Damaged structures; collapsed walls and craters
Overhanging slabs and buckled columns/beams
Shattered glass panels/broken glass and sharp debris
Fires, smoke and toxic fumes
Water and gas leaks
Exposed live electric cables
Potential secondary bomb devices
Trained in first aid? It helps if you could render basic assistance to those injured
until emergency responders arrive. Remember, move casualties only if there is
imminent danger nearby.
If you are not trained, do not remain in the hazard area to treat
casualties.
Note the location of seriously injured casualties and report
their location to
medical professionals arriving on scene.
Do not enter a structurally damaged building to treat or rescue
injured/trapped
people.
Ensure your own safety before trying to help others.
