In an emergency situation, high stress and the uncertain can interfere with your ability to stay calm. Many times, average people will mix up the numbers in an address or give the wrong information to EMS dispatchers. The best plan for an emergency situation is using various tactics to clear your mind and communicate clearly and effectively.
- Take a deep breath. Deep breathing will slow you down, and help you focus on the details.
- Try not to rush your speech. When attempting to tell the dispatcher every necessary detail about the emergency, rushing may cause you to skip over important information.
- Listen to the dispatcher’s advice. If that means you have to get out of the house, or even remain still, this is also important information that may save your life or someone else’s.
