How Your Brain Reacts During an Emergency
If one thought about it clearly, any kind of emergency can be deduced to a matter of perspective. The gravity of a situation can vary, depending on how you look at it. Of course, any kind of life-and-death circumstance is considered grave. But sometimes, what sets the difference between living and dying is how the people involved responds to the emergency.
This is actually how the average brain reacts in the event of an emergency.
First things first: what do you do? There is a need to know what to do in the given situation. And so, you decide. The brain becomes rattled with different options. And each option is influenced by a lot of factors. A person undergoes three major stages before arriving at a decision.
1. Denial
Have you ever felt like wanting to just disappear from where you stood at the onset of an emergency? You may have uttered ‘This is not happening!” a hundred times, but you’re still at the very same spot you despise. This is the denial stage and experiencing that is completely normal. But this stage is also quite hard to get through. Without the actual events sinking in, the person cannot act to do something about the emergency. This is why one of the first reminders in encountering an emergency is to maintain a calm mind. In the state of panic, the brain’s ability to create a sound judgment is hindered, and can even put everyone in even grave danger.
2. Deliberation
Once actual events have sunk in, time to think things through. What are your options? Will this work? Will that work? If Plan A has a loophole, Plan B may be better. But in this stage, the brain will have to work fast and process every option within a matter of a few minutes, depending on how urgent the need for an action is. Again, if the emergency involves the life or lives of people, a prompt analysis of every action possible is needed.
3. Decisive action
You have actually decided upon an option. What’s next? Take action. Do what you have to do. But make sure that you stay calm and channel any form of anger into an energy that you can use to get your plan into action.
***
One rule of thumb is to maintain a clear state of mind. Once you were able to do that during an emergency, you will be able to save a lot of lives and property if it ever comes to it. Also, call for help if you know you cannot handle it.
