A day can go on as routinely as it can. Amazingly, a normal day can also change with just a flick of a second. From routine to disastrous real quick, emergencies can happen on a seemingly calm day, to the very unsuspecting people.
And with this nature of emergencies, knowledge, and preparation do come handy. It’s best to have a clear state of mind and have a set of wisdom to save your life and the lives of others when emergencies strike.
1. Keep calm.
It sure is easier said than done to keep calm in the event of an emergency. But for so long, maintaining your own composure during emergencies is a big help. When people panic, the situation almost always take a turn for the worse. Keeping calm and putting on a clear state of mind lets you assess the situation better, allowing you to think of a solution or a temporary remedy.
2. Survey the scene.
Once you have established your calm, keep an eye out on the surroundings. Check the impact of the emergency on the environment. Assess if the impact has been minimal or great. Also, see if the place is still safe to stay at or it would be the best for everyone to leave and evacuate.
3. Call for help.
While you need to be your own hero when an emergency happens, you need to let the right people handle the whole situation as much as possible. Arm yourself with first-aid knowledge, just until help comes. Taking the whole situation into your hands is not really advisable, as it can lead to more disastrous outcomes. Know what you can handle and know what you should leave alone.

Danger is inevitable, it can happen anytime, anywhere. That is why it is very important that you are prepared for any accidents, injuries, or even life-threatening situations. One of the best ways possible to keep you equipped in times of need is having first aid skills through training.
First-aid is an emergency care or treatment being given to an ill or injured person before regular medical aid can be obtained. This normally includes skills on applying pressure to alleviate excessive bleeding, putting up bandages or support to injured body parts, and the most common skill CPR or Cardiopulmonary (mouth-to-mouth) Resuscitation.
There are three key applications of first-aid that makes it a very important skill that needs to be learned and honed, even at the early age:
1.) Household safety
For instances of accidents at home, having a first-aid kit is very important. Normally, it includes bandages, gauze, alcohol, and pain relievers. There are also several first aid skills that are valuable to you and your housemates, especially your children. Teaching them at an early age may not just save them, but also you in times you’re the one who is at risk. Knowing the Heimlich maneuver in times of choking is a very important skill that may save lives. Don’t forget that it is also important that you know all the emergency hotlines available. First-aid effects are just for the emergency procedure and the relief is temporary. So, an expert medical assistance should still be prioritized. (Read our Blog about Why it is important to know the different hotlines)
2.) Work safety
Having someone who is knowledgeable in first aid is a must. Be prepared for such is important even at work. Knowing some first-aid skills may extend the consciousness of a certain ill or injured person. This is applicable in case an immediate access to medical support cannot be obtained.
3.) Disaster risk reduction
One more thing that is inevitable is the weather. You may never know how injurious or damaging a hurricane, flood, or an earthquake will be. (Read our blog about How to Prepare for the ‘Big One’). Keeping your first-aid kits with you and your loved ones will always be a must. Moreover, in certain cases of bleeding, bruises or dislocated body parts of your loved ones due to impact. Hence, knowing the proper way of putting pressure and leveling of the injured limb will be very beneficial.

First-aid skills might not be an absolute and an expert way of treating injuries and alleviating risks, however, it is still an important knowledge that may save or at least extend the lives of many as the needs arise. Many people suffer from heart attacks, loss of consciousness, severe wounds, burns, and even drowning, almost every day. That’s why being knowledgeable of the risks and the ways to give temporary relief to the person at stake through First Aid is very significant.

In the past few weeks, the Philippines have experienced several earthquake hits.
These occurrences were affiliated to the previously announced magnitude 7.2 earthquake predicted by PHIVOLCS. It was dubbed as The Big One. PHIVOLCS warned the public that the Big One will give an intense hit and will cause severe damage in Metro Manila and nearby provinces. Some of the major expected damages involve loss of thousands of lives, numerous injuries, and public and private infrastructure wreckage.
With this foretold calamity, execution of earthquake drills is insufficient. We have to make preparations collectively and individually. Government offices such as PHIVOLCS and National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC) can give all the needed updates and precautions we need yet the planning and preparation must come from our ends. That’s why we have listed three of the main disaster preparations that you can do prior to the coming of the Big One.
Pack your important files.
Apart from water, food, clothes, and other emergency resources, you should also consider bringing your important documents with you. Make extra copies of your government identification cards and passports. Have your medical insurance, as well as life and family insurances photocopied too for safety purposes. Once these files get destroyed, it will be harder for you to recover them, as these are files that are confidential and encompass your identity. Without these, you’re practically lost.
Always be updated
One way in getting prepared is to monitor the news. PHIVOLCS stated that they cannot predict the exact date of the Big One’s occurrence. However, we can get insights from the news whether the incidence of quakes is still increasing. In this way, we can keep an eye on our surroundings more eagerly. Understanding the concept of this calamity is vital so we could have an idea what kind of tragedy we are preparing for. Most of us lack the preparation phase that’s why there are still a lot of casualties and damages when the earthquake happens. We need to do something when the calamity has already hit us, and awareness is one the first things we should have.
Know the basic drills
Remember the basic earthquake drills we have learned in school? The duck, cover, and hold? We should know the places where we could best stay during or after the hit. And the most important thing of all: Don’t panic in the event of an earthquake. Remain calm and just do what is told.
The Big One might come anytime soon. Due to the intensity, it might cause, the authorities have advised the public to be well-prepared for the upcoming disastrous earthquake, especially those living in areas located under the fault. The quake could strike anytime so people must immediately prepare and prepare well to avoid casualties and injuries.

We can’t predict the exact date of when the Big One might arrive. The best thing we could do is to prepare and plan ahead so we could lessen the number of deaths, injuries, and property destruction that may occur. We must be prepared all the time. Make a list and prepare a number of who to contact after the big quake hit comes or where to go for medical assistance. And that’s where we come in. AirGurus Air Ambulance is an all-around emergency helicopter provider. All your emergency needs under one company available 24/7.
Emergency hotlines are your instant go-to when the need arises. That’s why, it is important that you keep a copy of each of the important ones with you.
Here are all the reasons why you should be keeping an emergency hotline with you at all times.
Climate change is real.
The effects of climate change have become very evident on Earth’s state. And it’s not of the good kind. The fast-rising shift of climate has had a negative impact on the inhabitants of this planet. Forest fires and drought spell disaster for any unprepared human being. You can call for help as soon as you sense something is going on if you have the emergency hotlines with you. You can even save the lives of those involved, even yourself.
Unexpected lifestyle diseases grow at a fast rate.
More and more people die of cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, rheumatic heart disease and stroke due to the type of lifestyle that they maintain. That is one thing. What causes more concern is that most people don’t even know that they are at risk of having or that they have already acquired cardiovascular diseases. Strokes and other cardiovascular diseases can be triggered anytime, and the difference between saving a life and losing it matters on how long it takes to get the help. If you have an emergency number with you all the time, you can spare one’s life of demise.
Accidents to human error and negligence are now becoming a huge thing.
A whopping number of 96,615 traffic accidents in National Capital Region were recorded in 2015 according to MMDA. Furthermore, the same report also showed that most of these accidents were caused by human error. There’s just no stopping an accident when it’s bound to happen.
Moreover, what one can do is be prepared by keeping a number to call when a collision happens just so help can arrive in the most immediate time.
The need to keep a list of emergency numbers with you is a lifesaver. Most of all, if you care about your life, then you know what to do.
Here are the emergency hotlines that you need to bring with you at all times:
National Emergency Hotline – 911 or 8888
NDRRMC – 911-5061 to 65
Red Cross – 143, (02) 527-0000, (02) 527-8385 to 95
BFP – (02) 426-0219, (02) 426-3812, (02)426-0246
PNP – 117 or 0917-847-5757
