Question

How is first aid provided to victims of disastervwho are injured

Answer 1

In a major disaster, immediate first aid will likely have to come from family and neighbors. When a tornado, hurricane or earthquake flattens a town, it takes a while for emergency services to get to people, even when they are well prepared.


Believe it or not, one of the things that slows aid is debris in the streets, especially nails, screws and other sharp objects that can flatten vehicle tires. Sometimes entire buildings are in the streets blocking access.


So, for the first several minutes to hours, you may have to rely on your own first aid skills and those of your family and friends until rescuers can get to you. Remember that in a disaster, the hospitals, fire stations and other emergency services have just been through the same event. It’s one of the things that makes disaster response difficult to plan for and respond to.


Rescuers will respond as far as they are able to drive and then walk. Helicopters can drop teams where there is enough room. We have a very good response system, but learn to provide first aid until those professionals can take over.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In case of injury, the wound should be covered with an antiseptic pad and apply pressure it for 5 minutes with either thumb or palm. If any bone is fractured of the injured it is necessary to restrict the movement of fractured part. It can be done with the help of any available wooden rods or batons or rulers.
