How to behave in the crowd?
What is its psychological atmosphere? In such cases, a man's emotions take precedence over the intellect. Convict and reassure people is impossible because of a decrease in the ability to think independently and a sharp increase in suggestibility. The crowd will begin to smash and obey if there is a leader or object of hatred. At the same time, the crowd quickly exhales when the result is achieved.
Panic in the crowd is much more dangerous than a natural disaster or an accident that caused it. Practical tips:
- The crowd is best avoided, but if there is no such possibility, then do not go against the "current", try to stay away from the center of this mass and from its edges. Being very close to the edge, you can get injured from shop windows, embankment or grilles. "Meeting" with fixed poles, curbstones, trees can cost you your life. Also, you should not cling hands to anything - it is fraught with fractures.
- Try to button up. Shoes with high heels or unfastened laces can also lead to sad consequences.
- Umbrella, bag and other items that are in your hands or hanging on your shoulder, should be thrown away. Do not try to pick up the object that has fallen from you - you will be trampled.
- If you behave correctly, then in a dense crowd the probability of falling is small, but it can be very hard to squeeze you. To avoid this, hold your hands in the lock and fold them on your chest - this will protect the diaphragm.
- The main task is not to fall in the crowd. If this happens, then it's worth protecting your head with your hands and trying to get up. It is very difficult to do this. You do not have to stand on your knees, you have to rest with one foot in the ground, standing with a full sole, and standing up sharply, "join" during the crowd.
- On a large concert stage or stadium, you must determine in advance the route of exit. In extreme situations, do not give in to a general panic, but evaluate the situation and make the right decision.
Explosion in the street.
To our great regret, cases of all kinds of explosions in the streets of cities have recently become more frequent. The appearance of vigilance and attentiveness will avoid tragedy.
By the following signs, it is possible to determine the danger of explosion:
- Detection of foreign parts and suspicious folds, both inside and outside the machine;
- Detection of material residues that are not characteristic of the site;
- Stretched wire or cord;
- Hanging insulating tape or wires;
- Detection on the land of the suburban area of allocated areas of dried or freshly dug land;
- At the door of the apartment - traces of repair work, the detected areas, markedly different in color from the general background of walls or doors;
- Unattended bags, briefcases, boxes and other suspicious items.
When suspicious items are found, it is necessary to inform the police officer about this. If the item is found on the metro train, it is very important to report the find to the train driver or other official. Touching or approaching a suspicious object is not worth it. Being in a confined space, you should stay within a group of people.
Fire in the apartment building.
In case of fire in a residential building, immediately inform about the incident by telephone 01 (from mobile 112), without creating panic, withdraw people from the premises and start extinguishing fire on their own. First estimate the scale of the fire. If a bucket of water can not do, then it is better to wait for the arrival of firefighters.
If the appliance becomes a fire, it must be disconnected from the mains, then it must be covered with a dense cover or filled with water. Help to extinguish the fire in the apartment can be wet cloth and water. The fire of curtains, blankets, pillows and mattresses can be stopped with a lot of water, taking such items into the tub and turning on the water, and you can simply throw them on the floor and trample them. The wiring lights up - turn off the electricity.
The majority of deaths are consequences of poisoning by products of burning, instead of burns. If it is impossible to get out of the burning room, then it is necessary to protect yourself from the smoke by means of a wet rag. Otherwise, making sure that there is no one in the apartment, it is worth it to leave, while closing all the doors. Lack of oxygen will not allow the fire to spread, and in some cases may lead to its extinction. Moving along the smoky corridors should be crawling or on all fours - the main part of the smoke will be at the top.
Tips for behavior in the event of a fire in a multi-storey building: if you are on the upper floors, then you should not get out of the room either on the stairs, or, especially, on the elevator. The latter can be stuck, and on the stairs is a high probability of poisoning products by burning. You should close the door tightly, and the slots and ventilation holes tightly wipe with wet rags. Call the rescue service and wait for the firefighters to arrive. If the fire penetrated into your apartment, then you should go to the balcony, closing the door behind you tightly, and give the signals to the firemen.
Protection from the evil dog.
- Do not provoke anger in the dog, which is a natural reaction. Do not look into her eyes and do not smile, since the dog will regard it as a grin and a demonstration of strength. Running the same way should not be - it will awaken in her hunting instinct. Do not approach the dog-guarded place, puppies and a bowl of food. To iron a dog during its "dinner" is also not worth it. Do not make sharp movements and friendly "attacks" towards the owner of the dog, which will be regarded as an attack.
- If the dog is ready to attack you, stop and give the command "stand", "lie down", "sit", "fu". Turn to the dog face and move towards it, if you are confident in yourself. As a rule, a dog reacts to a fleeing person, and in this situation, it will most likely recede.
- You can use improvised means, stepping back and calling for help. To protect your throat, you need to press your chin to your chest and put one hand forward. If the dog knocked you off your feet, then turn over on your stomach and close your throat with your hands.
- The tongue, nose and groin are the painful points of the dog.
