Answer:
The following first aid should be provided to victims of disasters:

Breathing: If the person has stopped breathing, give artificial respiration mouth to mouth.
Circulation: If the person is unconscious, first give mouth to mouth respiration. If the person doesn't revive, perform CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) by pressing the heart hard using both palms. Repeat these two steps alternately after every 15 minutes.
Bleeding: Cover the wound with an antiseptic pad and apply pressure for 5 minutes using thumb or palm.
