Safety First
The first step in staying safe is to be safety conscious.
safety conscious Being aware that safety is important and being careful to act in a safe manner
It’s easier to prevent injuries than to treat them.
Safety First
Pay attention to your surroundings and look for hazards around you.
hazards Potential sources of danger
Avoid or fix possible hazards.
Safety First
Keep your environment safe to help prevent accidental injuries.
accidental injuries Injuries caused by unexpected events
Avoid or fix possible hazards.
Responsibility
When you put your belongings in their proper place,
they’re not in the way, so they’re less likely to cause
accidents. Putting away clothes and equipment also
helps cut down on clutter.

electrical overload A dangerous situation in which too much electrical current flows along a single circuit
Shredded wires or torn cords can also start fires.
Fire Safety
Causes of Fires in the Home
Careless cooking Careless smokingIncorrect storage offlammable materials
Damaged electricalsystems or
electrical overloadGas leaks
Preventing Fires
Keep stoves and ovens clean.
Keep flammable materials away from burners.
Never let a smoker toss a cigarette into a trashcan before making sure it is completely extinguished.
Remind people not to smoke in bed.
Store matches and lighters out of the reach of children.

Being Prepared in Case of Fire
A smoke alarm can save your life.
smoke alarm A device that sounds an alarm when it senses smoke
Every level ofthe house should
have smokealarms.
Install smokealarms close tosleeping areasand bedrooms.
Test smokealarms every
month.
Put in freshbatteries once
a year.

Practice theescape plan.
Preventing Injuries at Home
Other dangers include falls, poisonings, electric shocks, and gun accidents.
Help prevent these unsafe situations by being safety conscious.
Preventing Falls
Kitchen Bathroom Stairs
• Clean up spills right away.

Headings in this Lesson
• What Are Weather Emergencies?• Tornadoes• Hurricanes• Blizzards• Thunderstorms and Lightning• What Are Natural Disasters?• Floods• Earthquakes
What Are Weather Emergencies?
People cannot prevent weather emergencies.
weather emergencies Dangerous situations brought on by changes in the atmosphere
The National Weather Service (NWS) sends out bulletins in the form of storm watches and storm warnings.
What Are Weather Emergencies?
Satellites and computers help scientists predict the paths of storms.
Television and the Internet help warn the public of danger.
Tornadoes
A tornado is a type of weather emergency.
tornado A whirling, funnel-shaped windstorm that drops from storm clouds to the ground
Tornados are most common in the Midwest and states nearest to the Gulf of Mexico. This region is known as “Tornado Alley.”
Tornadoes
If A Tornado Is Happening
Go to a cellar or basement.
Where to Go
If you cannot get underground, go to a windowless room or hallway.
If you are outside, lie in a ditch orflat on the ground.
Cover yourself with whateverprotection you can find.
What to Do
Get under heavy furniture, in abathtub, or under a mattress.
Stay where you are. The stormwill pass quickly.
Hurricanes
Each hurricane has a center, or eye, where the weather conditions are calm.
hurricane A strong windstorm with driving rain that forms over the sea
The strong winds of a hurricane come from the swirling cloud mass that surrounds it.
Hurricanes
If A Hurricane Is Happening
Board up windows and doors. Bring inside items that the wind could smash into houses.
Evacuate, or leave the area, immediately if the NWS tells you to do so.
If no evacuation is called for, stay indoors away from windows and doors.
Hurricanes
This is an imagetaken of a hurricane.The NWS usessatellite technologyto forecast the direction of storms.
Blizzards
A blizzard can last anywhere from an hour or two to several days.
blizzard A very heavy snowstorm with winds up to 45 miles per hour
During a blizzard, always stay inside.
Blizzards
Hypothermia can shut down your body’s systems, so they stop functioning properly.
hypothermia A sudden and dangerous drop in body temperature
Hypothermia can lead to death.
Blizzards
If A Blizzard Is Happening
Get inside and stay inside.
When outside, keep your head, face, and body covered and warm.
If you are in a car, pull over to the side of the road, and turn on the flashers.
Thunderstorms and Lightning
Lighting is a dramatic and dangerous side effect of thunderstorms.
Florida leads the United States in the number of lightning storms that happen each year.
Thunderstorms and Lightning
If A Thunderstorm Is Happening
Stay inside or seek shelter as soon as possible.
Unplug electrical appliances and computers.
Be prepared for power loss.
Avoid using the telephone.
If you are outside, crouch low to the ground and stay away from electrical poles and wires, tall trees, water, and metal objects.
What Are Natural Disaster?
A natural disaster is an event caused by nature that results in widespread damage.
Basic Supplies for Natural Disasters
• Buy several days’ worth of fresh water.
• Have a radio, a flashlight, batteries, blankets, canned goods, a can opener, and a first-aid kit.
Floods
Flash-flood waters rise very quickly and are very powerful.
Two feet of moving water has enough force to sweep away cars.
Floods
Surviving Floods
Head for higher ground.
Never walk, swim, ride a bike, or drive a car through flooding water.
Drink only bottled water.
If you have evacuated the area, return home only after you are told it is safe to do so.
After returning home, throw away contaminated food and disinfect everything that has come into contact with the floodwater.
Earthquakes
A large earthquake is usually followed by a series of aftershocks.
earthquake A shifting of the earth’s plates, resulting in a shaking of the earth’s surface
aftershocks Smaller earthquakes, as the earth readjusts after the main earthquake
Earthquakes
Scientists cannot predict earthquakes, but they can measure how strong earthquakes are using the Richter scale.

Protecting Yourself During an Earthquake
Stay away from windows, mirrors, and other objects that might shatter.
Get under a sturdy piece of furniture. Cover your head with a pillow.
Stay away from tall or heavy objects that could fall on you.
Stand or crouch in a strongly supported doorway. Cover your head.

How to Help Someone Who is Choking
Choking results when a person’s airway becomes blocked by food or accidentally swallowed objects.
Signs of Choking
Grabbingthroat and neck

How to Help Someone Who is Choking
For an adult or older child who is choking, use abdominal thrusts.
abdominal thrusts Quick, inward and upward pulls into the diaphragm to force an obstruction out of the airway
How to Help Someone Who is Choking
If an infant is choking, use chest thrusts.
chest thrusts Quick presses into the middle of the breastbone to force an obstruction out of the airway
How to Help Someone Who is Choking
If you start to choke and there’s no one around, use your fist and hand to perform abdominal thrusts.
If this does not work right away, do abdominal thrusts on a low railing or the back of a chair.
How to Stop Severe Bleeding
Before you help someone who is bleeding, put on protective gloves.
Never touch anyone else’s blood.
How to Stop Severe Bleeding
Cover the wound with a clean cloth.
Elevate the bleeding area so that it is above the level of the heart.
If the bleeding doesn’t stop, apply pressure to a pressure point or amain artery between the wound and the heart.
After the bleeding has stopped, stay with the victim until medical helparrives.
Burns

Treating Other Emergencies
An example of a dislocation is if your upper arm bone is pulled out of your shoulder socket.
dislocation A major injury that happens when a bone is forced from its normal position within a joint
Treating Other Emergencies
Moving a broken bone or dislocated joint could cause further injury.
While you wait for help to arrive, keep the victim still.
