Publisher's Synopsis
Would you know what to do if someone collapsed next to you? How would you react if you were caught up in a natural disaster or a terrorist attack? What if your car gets trapped in snow, or a colleague is injured at work? Every year in the UK around 4,000 people die and 2.7 million people visit A&E as a result of accidents in the home. On the roads, eight people a day are killed. At work, more than 36 million working days are lost a year because of work-related accidents and ill health. But help is at hand - "What to Do in an Emergency" tells you how to cope with emergencies of all kinds, from tsunamis to dog fights. You'll learn everything from how to help a choking child to what to do if you are mugged, how to unblock a toilet, how to debug your computer and the best way to escape from a car that is under water. Whatever the emergency, you'll have the confidence to deal with it.
