What to say when you call
People panic on the phone, and that's normal. It helps to remember this order:
- What happened: accident, fire, someone unconscious, a fight.
- Where exactly: the mohalla and a landmark, like "Badrinath Marg, near the petrol pump".
- How many people are hurt, and whether anyone is not breathing.
- Your phone number. Then keep the line free.
If you have a smartphone, share your live location on WhatsApp with someone at home as well.
For older parents living alone
- Write the numbers on paper and stick them near the phone. Phones die.
- Save a neighbour's number as "Emergency 1".
- Keep a small folder with Aadhaar, Ayushman card, medicine list and the family doctor's number.
- Make sure someone nearby has a spare key.
Road accidents on the hill roads
The roads to Dugadda and Lansdowne see accidents, especially in monsoon and fog. If you're first on the scene, call 112 or 108, switch on your hazard lights and keep traffic away. Don't move an injured person unless there's immediate danger, like fire.
