"Hi, this is Laura Turner and today I'm going to talk with you about how to write an emergency response guide. Your emergency response guide is very important for your family or if you're in a company, for your employees. And it should be very clearly marked and very tightly bound so that it doesn't get messed up and you don't have, you know, problems when you're trying to open it, because in most cases whenever you open an emergency response guide like this first aid handbook you're going to want to be able to use it very easily. And you're going to want to clearly mark the different areas. This is of course a little handbook, but if you have actual guide, you might want to use tabs to show more of the different letters are. So you're going to want to put it in alphabetical order. So for example, if I wanted... if I'm bleeding, or if someone is bleeding, I want to know immediately how to take care of that problem, so bleeding is right in the very beginning here of this first aid handbook, you know. "Breathing stopped, artificial respiration, " these guides also contain, like, here we have a CPR sort of illustrated out for us so that we can figure this out on the fly when we're calling nine one one and we're waiting on them to get here. So make sure you also put one in several different areas of the house or the company so that you have them at easy access for everyone, so that just in case something really horrible does happen, you will all be able to follow the standard procedures for getting out of there. Include also, the emergency phone numbers in your emergency guide. Make sure that everybody knows who to call and when to call them. I remember when I was growing up in my house my mom had those emergency numbers on the phone when we... you know in the days of land line telephones. And finally, make the text bold and clear in categories as well as alphabetical. And make sure that everybody and access this thing because it really is extremely important. So that's how to create an emergency response guide."
