Does your family have an emergency plan?

In the cities where we live, the government and related departments have formulated various types of overall and special emergency plans, and often organized drills to build a safety barrier for us. There will inevitably be some accidental injuries in life. Residents should also formulate family emergency plans to protect themselves and their families.

Preparation Phase

The main planners of the family emergency plan should collect data on accident injuries in recent years around their cities and their homes, understand the types of accidental injuries that occur frequently, and identify some regular characteristics, such as carbon monoxide poisoning in the winter, and so on. There are several.

It is necessary to strengthen learning in light of the types of incidents that are prone to multiple accidents, such as learning the knowledge of fire escape, fracture treatment methods, etc., and enhance their safety awareness and ability to respond to sudden accident injuries.

Understand the emergency plans related to yourself, such as various types of emergency plans in your city, neighborhoods, and communities, and emergency plans for yourself, your family’s company, and your child’s school. When preparing a family emergency plan, these contents will help you a bit.

Ask family members to act together to conduct a large-scale investigation of hidden dangers, identify potential safety hazards and possible risk points in the home, and take corrective measures in time. The hidden dangers and risk points that cannot be eliminated in time should be taken as an important part of the family emergency plan and countermeasures should be proposed.

Development stage

Family meetings are held. All family members must participate. They can combine their own living environment and family members' conditions to present their own suggestions, discuss together, and jointly formulate family emergency plans.

What is the correct escape route when an accident occurs? Where to go for an emergency collection? What happens to the first step when there is an accidental injury? These issues are all made clear in the family emergency plan.

In response to accidents, residents can develop escape route maps based on floor plans and their own floor plan, clarify the best route from each room to the safe exit, and familiarize the family with them as soon as possible. You can also create some escape route maps that are affixed to the door of each room. For accidental injuries, the principle of disposal and key steps should be clearly defined.

The circumstances of each family are different. Some families have young children, or elderly people and patients who are inconvenient to move. When formulating family emergency plans, they should be listed as the focus of attention and assess their situation. For example, can you save yourself? Do you need someone to accompany you? These circumstances should be combined to clarify the response.

In the family emergency plan, the location of some important facilities and items should be clearly defined, such as the position of the main power switch, gas valve, and the location of fire extinguishers and first aid kits. At the same time, some emergency measures should be clarified and the family must be required to do so. If a gas leak occurs, the windows should be immediately opened for ventilation; after the household appliances start to catch fire, the power should be cut off for the first time and then be put out; when a burn or scald occurs, it should be done as soon as possible. Rinse with running water to cool the affected area.

Perfect stage

After the preparation of the family emergency plan, each member of the family should be made to learn and be familiar with, and often organize emergency drills. To teach the elderly and children to identify common escape signs, such as safe exits, teach them some escape knowledge. In addition, you can write down the fire alarm, first aid, police station phone number, paste it at a more obvious location in your home, and teach the elderly and children to call the police.

In response to deficiencies in family emergency drills, improvement measures should be promptly taken. If there are problems in the emergency plan, it should be adjusted and improved in a timely manner to constantly improve the pertinence and applicability of the family emergency plan.

When the situation of households changes, new content should be added to the family emergency plan.

Combining with the newly emerged types of accidental injuries, the emergency response plan for the family can be adjusted, and new and reliable countermeasures and methods can be supplemented and the family can be informed in a timely manner. When there are more adjustments in the plan, the family should be organized to conduct an emergency drill.

Item reserve

Residents can stock some necessary emergency items at home, such as small fire extinguishers, emergency escape ropes, smoke masks, and fire blankets.

Prepare some water and food properly. The water should be stored in a clean, sealed, easy-to-carry bottle. Foods should meet the requirements of light and easy-to-carry, ready-to-eat, instant noodles, such as biscuits, instant noodles, etc., and some compressed foods can be prepared where conditions permit.

Drugs are an essential product for every family. Residents should have an emergency medicine kit with sterile gauze and bandages that can be used for wound treatment. Drugs such as antidiarrheal medicines and Suxiao Jiuxin Pills should also be prepared. Attention should be paid to checking first-aid medicine kits, supplementing used medicines, and replacing expired medicines.

There are also some small items that can also play a big role in emergency situations, such as whistles, radios, flashlights, towels, and blankets.
