S.T.O.P.

Emergencies and natural disasters occur often and strike when we least expect it.  This can lead to emotions of extreme fear or stress.  However, being prepared and knowing what to do in an emergency can help you effectively deal with the situation.  The simple acronym S.T.O.P can assist you in the initial thought process after an emergency or disaster has struck and aid you in your survival.
S.T.O.P.
Stop (stay put, relax and breath)
Think/Treat (process the current situation and treat any injuries)
Observe (address any immediate dangers and collect resources)
Plan (proceed with positive course of action)
