The actions of the terrorist attack: how to survive and to help others
Survival / / December 23, 2019
In connection with the recent events are extremely relevant rules of conduct during a terrorist attack and the threat of its commission. Options for different events quite a lot, but there are universal steps in the terrorist attack, which we now consider in detail.
Precautionary measures
Terrorist attacks are most often committed in public places: in public transport, at markets and stores, during major events both in the covered areas and outdoors. While emergency mode or terrorist threat is not entered, to recommend the refusal of visiting such places definitely not. But to ensure their own safety measures still need to be followed. Hence, it is desirable to avoid the crowds. Should not stand near windows and any easily breakable structures. Abandoned cars, small cubbyhole between booths or buildings may also carry a certain risk. The public transport is best to choose a place in the middle of the passenger compartment in a counter-movement. And again, away from the windows (the windows that are an emergency exit, you need to keep track of). By the way, there were people are safer than sitting.
In crowded places you need to be attentive to any forgotten objects, suspicious bags, boxes without owners and others.
Signs of explosive devices:
- Parked cars near the house, unknown to residents.
- The presence of wires, small antennas, electrical tape.
- Noise of the detected object (clock tick, clicks).
- Availability found objects power supply (battery).
- Stretching wire, twine, rope.
- Unusual location of the detected object.
- Specific, not typical of the surrounding area smell.
- Abandoned briefcases, suitcases, bags, fold, boxes.
All suspicious objects in locations where crowds must be reported to the administration or security services. It should be clearly and consciously say where and at what time the object was found, as well as specify their contact details. After it is necessary to wait for the arrival of the investigative team. The rest - business intelligence services.
When warning of a possible terrorist attack in the media or civil defense assets (siren to warn you to listen to the radio or TV on local frequencies / channels), you need to safely and quickly leave the dangerous place, without creating panic and avoid mass gatherings people.
Where to run? Home. Best of all land transport, avoiding the crowd. Including major shopping centers, factories, railway stations. If possible, you need to create a three-day stock water, food, medicines and spare light sources, assemble documents and prepare for possible evacuation. In addition, it is necessary to remove all items from the window sills, windows, make the apartment combustible materials. Zadornutye curtains provide protection from shrapnel. Of course, great to leave the big city for a couple of days, for example, to the relatives in the village, but it can be problematic, if not impossible.
What if a terrorist act has already committed
The main goal - to survive and not to suffer. She co - call the security services and to save others. In order to implement them, it is necessary to perform three tasks, strictly following prioritization:
- Stand up. Look around. There is the danger? Not?
- There are people injured? Take him away. Do not react? Check them out.
- The injured unconscious? Check breathing. Breathe - save.
You can not perform actions, if there is no understanding of how to complete them and what they will bring. In order to save others, you need to survive.
Evacuation
How to evacuate - it does not matter. Most importantly - fast. Everything can wait. First it is necessary to leave the danger zone. Deal with wounds and injuries better in a safe place.
In the case of an organized evacuation must be clear and easy to follow instructions administration, driver or special services.
It is necessary to avoid the crowds, but if there is no possibility of it out, it is necessary to submit to the flow and follow him, not opposing, but displaced from it in a safe direction. It is necessary to move in with a little bit apart elbows. Be sure to get rid of any items that can catch on. You should avoid places where you can be clamped, and as carefully as possible to overcome any obstacles. In such situations in a stampede killed far more people than from the attack.
If, however, you drop, you need to curl up into a ball and covered his head roll back to a safe place as soon as possible to get up.
If an evacuation of the wounded, the best way to transport it - dragging while holding hands. This is the least labor-intensive process in which rescued the head is in relative safety. Although in an emergency, when there is a threat of fire or explosion, even to drag in one leg, face down is better than nothing.
First aid
Most dangerously heavy bleeding and breathing problems. And you need to deal with them in the same order: minimizing blood lossAfter - a lack of oxygen. All other injuries or are not so serious threat, or can not be removed without special medical training.
The victims are divided into three categories:
- In the mind, breathing itself - to stop the bleeding (if any), to help take a comfortable position.
- Unconscious, breathing - put to one side, to stop heavy bleeding.
- Unconscious, not breathing - start cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
It is necessary to determine who to save first. All at once does not help, so here applies to "triage". First rescue those who are alive, breathing itself, but has multiple injuries, lost a lot of blood, unconscious. Second in the queue - the wounded are in consciousness. The last should be supported by those who are conscious and able to move. As it is cruel, but all those who are unconscious, unable to breathe, you should get help from physicians. IN emergency they only have time at the last moment: too expensive the lives of those more accurately can be saved.
All victims must be inspected for severe bleeding. Then, find the source and firmly clamp the wound with your hand or any just any cloth, clothing. In no case can not be removed from the wound foreign objects, including fragments, edged weapons and so on. Their presence in some way to close the blood flow. Strong, gushing bleeding should stop using any materials at hand. The tow can be made of wire or even a shirt, a pressure bandage - similarly. The purity of the material in the calculation is not: a strong loss of blood would kill rather and much faster. First stop - then bandage.
In the case of severe bleeding on the hand or the forearm should be possible to bend the elbow, with bleeding on the foot and lower leg - bend the leg at the knee joint. In case of bleeding in the thigh tourniquet is applied to the leg below the groin; on the shoulder - a little below the shoulder joint.
When wound in the victim's head is placed horizontally, ensure peace. Head wound (excluding the injured person) is better not to touch. If the damaged person, it is necessary to clamp the wound with sterile gauze, cloth or handkerchief.
In wounds of the spine do not allow the victim to move, place it and do not touch until the arrival of medical professionals.
In wounds in the chest and abdomen to prevent ingress of air into the pleural and peritoneal cavities must impose on the wound airtight bandage - a gauze pad with boric ointment or petroleum jelly, a piece polyethylene. In an extreme case - tightly clamp the wound with his hand. The victim must be in a semi-sitting position.
After all the victims stopped the blood, unconscious flipped on its side - you can do burns. In an emergency, all that makes sense to do before the arrival of doctors - to cool the affected tissue. Alternatively, pour water on them, or put a wet rag (preferably packet).
