  • Do not attempt to move an injured person unless it is absolutely necessary to prevent further injury.
  • You may provide first aid if you are trained and it is safe to do so.
  • Calmly assure the injured person that help is on the way.
  • Help responders locate the victim and remain available to assist as needed.
