Besides calling 911 for emergency medical assistance, it must be determined if the child is conscious. In this dynamic world, there are many natural disasters that are beyond our control. These disasters often cause emergencies and deaths that are generally unavoidable. More often, however, is that emergencies are accidents that could have been avoided if general safety precautions had been exercised. This is especially true when concerning accidents among children.
Most preventive safety concerning children involves safety awareness.
It is necessary for responsible adults and parents to know how to respond to an emergency involving a child. More importantly, adults need to be responsible enough to make sure that children are not put into dangerous situations. Lastly, children should be taught how to prevent emergencies when they are old enough to understand. With a little effort and education, the world can be made a safer place for children.
