Problem: Article: During a disaster, getting medical care can be difficult. Additionally, it's easy to get injured because of fallout from the disaster event. Take first aid classes or watch first aid videos online to learn skills you can use to help yourself and others. Learn how to administer CPR to adults, children and babies. Know the proper way to treat shock. Find out how to treat hypothermia. Learn how to save someone from drowning. First, surround your fire with rocks to keep it contained. Then, layer branches at the bottom of your fire pit and pile the wood that will fuel your fire on top. Next, stuff kindling and tinder around the wood. This includes dried pine needles, dry moss, bark, and twigs, which easily catch fire. Finally, light the kindling and tinder with a match. If you don't have a match, you may be able to start a fire by rubbing 2 sticks together as fast as you can. You can find videos online that will show you a variety of ways to start fires without a lighter or matches. Don't build a fire inside your home except for inside a working fireplace. Additionally, make sure your fire is far away from nearby structures so they don't catch fire. If your area has dry conditions, wet the ground around your fire to prevent it from spreading. If you're in your home, you can get the water out of your water heater or from the tank of your toilet. When looking for water outdoors, search for a moving waterway, like a river or stream. Additionally, check under green vegetation or under rocks for groundwater. When it rains, collect the fresh rainwater in buckets or pots. Then, use water purification tablets or boiling to purify the water. Water purification tablets can quickly purify the water for you. Boiling the water for 10 minutes will kill any pathogens that are in it. After a disaster, you may not be able to cook on your stove. If you have a fireplace, you can use it for cooking. Otherwise, use an outdoor grill or camp-stove to heat your food. Don't use a grill or camp-stove indoors because it can be dangerous. Most canned goods can be eaten at room temperature, as long as the can isn't dented or bloated. They may not taste as good, but they won't make you sick. Read books about foraging for food or watch videos online to learn what to look for. If you can, take a course with a naturalist to learn which foods are safe to eat. This may help you stretch your food supplies after a long-term disaster event. You may also want to learn to fish and hunt. However, you'll need to have the right supplies on hand to do this, which might be difficult after a disaster. First, learn what kinds of disaster events are most likely to occur in your area. Then, talk to your family members and decide where you will meet each other if there's an emergency. Additionally, discuss what supplies you will collect and what skills each person will be able to use during a disaster. For instance, your family might decide to meet at home as your first option. However, you may also designate a local park as your back-up meeting spot in the event that you can't get to your home. Decide how you will communicate with your family members, such as by cell phone, by walkie-talkie, or by leaving notes at designated spots, like your home, your kid's school, or a nearby park. Review the escape routes for in case of a fire, and decide which room in your home is safest in case of a tornado or flood. Agree on what each family member will carry if you have to leave your home. Plan for how you will get in touch with each other if you get separated. For instance, you could all agree to call a specific family member.
Summary: Undergo first aid training so you can tend to medical needs. Practice building fires for warmth, cooking, and boiling water. Learn how to find water and purify it. Practice cooking over an open flame. Learn how to forage for food. Create an emergency plan with your family members.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Although someone who behaves in selfish ways may be frustrating to be around, it is possible that selfish behavior may indicate that the person is dealing with deeper issues, such as depression or narcissistic personality disorder. Try to avoid judging or labeling your friend as selfish and self-centered. Instead, try to find out what is going on in your friend's life that may be causing him or her to behave in selfish ways. For example, you might say, "You seem wrapped up in the negative things that have been happening in your life. What's going on?" Encourage your friend to seek help if they're depressed or dealing with other serious issues. Advise your friend to talk to a school counselor or a therapist. What does your friend do that irritates you? Does she say negative things to you, constantly demand your attention, or talk only about herself without stopping? Get a good handle on exactly what it is that bothers you about your friend. Some friends ask for help but never give anything in return. In this case, they're taking more from the relationship than they're giving, leaving it one-sided. Others talk themselves all the time but never ask how you are. If you do talk, they seem uninterested. This is another example of a one-sided relationship. Another type of selfishness is attention seeking. They may constantly call you and try to get you to hang out. They don't respect your need for alone-time. The underlying problems of selfishness may give you a little something to go on when talking to the person. You may also be able to develop a little more empathy for your friend if you consider why he or she may be acting in selfish ways. Selfish or self-centered people may be insecure or have a negative self image. As such, they look for attention or try to get others to think about them. Consider their childhood. Maybe they expect attention because that's what they're used to. Maybe they're desperate for attention because they never got any growing up. Selfishness is a normal human behavior and we are all guilty of it sometimes. Think about times that you've been selfish to get some perspective. You may have been selfish unintentionally and hurt others' feelings. For example: Have you ever interrupted someone during a conversation? Have you ever gotten bored when someone else was talking and started thinking about a problem of your own? Did you ever insist someone to spend time with you, even though you knew that they weren't feeling well?
Summary:
Keep in mind that selfishness can indicate other problems. Think about what's bothering you. Consider underlying problems. Think about times you've been selfish.
