What to do
- Call emergency services. They retain no charge: touch is possible if the scene is safe.
- Report numbers, location and ongoing storm. Injury: avoid unnecessary movement. Immediate danger or airway/CPR takes priority. Do not cross fallen wires.
- If unresponsive: call emergency services. If breathing is abnormal, start CPR with dispatcher guidance.
- If breathing normally, look for bleeding or burns. Keep watching response and breathing. Follow dispatcher guidance.
- Unresponsive and abnormal breathing: start CPR, include breaths if able and willing. Several people: request more helpers and follow dispatcher. Do not delay checking a pulse.
What to avoid
- Do not cross fallen wires to help.
