If you witness a medical emergency:
Make sure the area is safe
- Stay calm.
- Identify any dangers and safeguard the scene. (For example, if someone has fallen in the parking lot, ask bystanders to wave any approaching vehicles away).

- If you are alone, make the call yourself.
Stay at the scene
- Remain with the patient until trained help arrives.
- If you have first aid or medical training, care for the patient as you are able.
- Assist emergency responders and provide any information they request.
