What to do
- Get help. Find shelter and dry warmth.
- If fully awake and swallowing safely, take a warm alcohol-free drink.
- Do not drive. Ask someone to stay until help arrives.
- Suitable warming pack and know its use: follow manufacturer, insulating skin from pack on chest/back/armpits, not limbs. Avoid burns. No safe product: blankets and emergency care.
- Fall/injury: avoid unnecessary movement. Breathing takes priority: dispatcher-guided open airway. Unresponsive, breathing normally, no injury: recovery-position guide.
What to avoid
- No hot bath or direct heat. Do not rub limbs or give alcohol.
