The “People Power” Health Superbook: Book 27. Miscellaneous Medical Topics (Safety Consciousness, First - Aid, Emergency Survival, Medical Products for Sale, Sleep, Dreams, Sunshine Power)

In an emergency, don't lose your head. Panic creates mistakes. There are all types of emergencies. Most people don't realize that if your car goes into the water, the water pressure outside the car door makes it virtually impossible to open. Either keep a screwdriver, hammer or punch near the driver's seat so you can quickly break the window and swim out. If you don't have that, kick the windshield out. The only way I know that is that I watched a safety video and learned it. You might think it's boring but I took the time to educate myself about all the types of hypothetical dangerous situations I could be in and how to handle them. If it happens, you know exactly what to do. Knowing what to do can keep you calm and brave. Learn safety information with everyone in your household including children. Create an emergency plan for the entire family so that everyone knows what to do.
