|  Dealing with Emergencies I got to thinking after the wonderful fireworks at Steve's ended last month, that if something happened to someone during them, I wouldn’t know what to do in an emergency. I wondered if I would even be able to be of any help to someone. So, I went looking for help. I searched for something that could teach me how to deal with an emergency. Thankfully, I found it. A whole section of a Web site is dedicated to dealing with emergencies. Now, there is a lot going happening on this page, so focus on the center column and the topic navigation, which is on the left hand side of the page under the heading of “Dealing with Emergencies.” http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/...encies-Overview |
