The right way to behave in an emergency: The five W's when making an emergency call
1. Where did something happen?
Give as precise an indication as possible of the place where the emergency occurred. This will help the emergency services to find the scene of the accident quickly. You do not know your way around? Ask other people or passers-by for assistance. Use the map of the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam to find your way around.
2. What happened?
Describe briefly what has happened and what you see and perceive.
3. How many people are affected or injured?
Estimate the number of people affected. In the case of children, also state their approximate age.
4. What are the injuries or damages?
Try to describe the current condition and the type of injuries of the affected persons.
5. Wait for further enquiries!
Stay on the phone for any queries until the emergency control centre ends the call.
