Assess before helping
Identify immediate danger, call 123 for life-threatening risk, and avoid exposing yourself while helping.
Essential guide
After an earthquake, pause for a few seconds and look around: downed wires, leaks, glass, unstable walls, and traffic can turn rushed help into another emergency. If there is entrapment, severe bleeding, loss of consciousness, or a life-threatening risk, call 123 and give a clear location. [1]
Do not move an injured person merely to take them elsewhere unless the location presents immediate danger. Alert people nearby, keep the route clear for official responders, and wait for instructions. [1]
- Your safety makes it possible to help.
