WARNING! This final section covers some pretty heavy stuff - medical needs, health emergencies, and police and firefighter involvement. While the emergencies you learn about will hopefully never happen, it is good to be prepared. The worst time to learn about these things is when you need them most! While this is all designed for elementary and middle school students in mind, if it makes you feel more comfortable, have your adult sit next to you for a while!

First Aid

We're going to go over 4 main topics of injury and the corresponding First Aid for each -Bleeding -Sprains & Fractures -Burns -Poison

While minor things can be handled by yourself or with a phone call to an adult, some things require an immediate 911 call.

The best way to avoid injury is PREVENTION.

First Aid & Emergencies

When you're home alone, you may have to handle an injury with basic First Aid.

Bleeding

13

First Aid & Emergencies

Treatment

  • Get supplies such as paper towels, napkins, or tissues to catch the blood
  • Sit down
  • Pinch the bridge of your nose, lean slightly forward, rest until the bleeding stops
  • Call 911 if the bleeding lasts more than 20 minutes or you feel lightheaded.

13

  • Nosebleeds are fairly common.
    • They can be triggered from allergies, dry air, injury, picking your nose, or some people are just prone to them.

Bleeding

13

First Aid & Emergencies

Treatment

  • Apply cold packs
  • Bandages help distract from the pain and may remind you to be careful around the area, but they provide no medical support
  • If you think it is a severe injury, call 911 or your parent.

13

  • Internal bleeding can be a small bruise or a very serious internal injury.
  • A bruise is technically internal bleeding, with blood poolng just under the skin. Most bruises are not severe and will go away on their own.
  • More severe internal bleeding is a result of blunt trauma from an object or falling.
  • The affected area of internal bleeding may be swollen, tender, and maybe discolored.

When you're home alone, you may need to treat a minor injury. It's always a good idea to have a well-stocked First Aid Kit and to know where it is!

FIND THE PAIRS

Let's be realistic...the chances of a distaster happening are very slim, but its always good to be prepared!

Well, did you think there was an emergency when you called?

Of course you do! But do you know WHEN to call it?

Yes! You can also call for a medical emergency.

But what if. My house is on fire. And there is someone robbing us. And there's a tornado. And the toilet flooded.

What if I call and they get here and nothing bad happened??? Like nothing at all?

I know the number for 911!

Or if you're feeling unsafe and want an officer to check on you!

Then you won't get in trouble. First Responders are here to help!

Um... a fire! Or you're being robbed!

Skye is joined by Roderick, who is freaking out about being home alone, and Sunny, who is confident being home alone.

What if you're choking or hiding and can't talk but need 911?

  • A silent 911 call is an option

You betcha, pal.

Officer Steele, can you tell us some more?

  • If you call 911 because you are scared while home alone, or there is a creepy person in your neighborhood, or you just generally feel uncomfortable, that's OKAY. Police officers would much rather show up and it's nothing than not be called and it's something.

Police do more than just get bad guys. They are here to PROTECT AND SERVE.

  • Police officers are often the first on a scene, regardless of the emergency, because they patrol the area and can respond the quickest
  • Police officers know First Aid and CPR
  • Police officers can stop by to do a well-check on people

Next

And here are a few reminders...

Here are some quick facts about police officers you may not know...

Firefighter Atesh, can you tell us some more?

  • The best plan in case of a fire is to GET OUT!
  • Do NOT spend time searching for or go back into a burning house for your pets. They will either find their way out, or the firefighters can get them.

Next

Firefighters serve with honor & bravery, running into burning buildings while everyone else is running out!

And here are a few reminders...

  • When arriving at a house, one firefighter does a lap around the house to see if anyone is near a window or needs help.
  • Most firefighters are cross-trained as Emergency Medical Technicians, or EMTs.

Here are some quick facts about firefighters you may not know...

Fire

First Aid & Emergencies

But here are some things to remember to prevent fires!

Unfortunately, lots of household items.

NEVER...

  • put metal in the microwave
  • put plastic in the oven or on the stove
