First Aid & Emergency Response — poster
In a real emergency your brain narrows and training takes over — if there's training to take over. The first four minutes decide outcomes for cardiac arrest and severe bleeding, and the ambulance is rarely that fast.
Can you tell 911 this site's ADDRESS right now? Post it. Assign someone to call, someone to meet the ambulance at the gate, someone to stay with the victim.
Direct, hard pressure with a dressing or cloth. Don't peek — stack more on top. A tourniquet 2–3 inches above a limb wound if pressure fails: high, tight, note the time.
No breathing or only gasping: start compressions — hard, fast, center of chest, 100–120/min. Send someone for the AED and follow its voice prompts; it won't shock a heart that doesn't need it.
Falls and struck-by victims may have spinal injuries — keep them still unless there's immediate danger (fire, collapse, traffic). Keep them warm and talking until EMS arrives.
