Tragedy in Boston
Yesterday we spent a lot of the day talking about the tragedy in Boston and our prayers go out to all of those affected, and admiration for the many brave first responders and public who stepped up to lend a hand. But we were also thinking: what would we all do in this situation? Situations such as this are becoming more and more common. How do you stay aware, and how do you feel is the best way to respond if you suddenly find yourself in a situation such as this?
Commenter 1: “Seems like the only two options in an event like this are to get injured in the blast or help those who were injured till more qualified individuals arrive to help them, in which case you help the more qualified people in any way you can. wish going all mission impossible and finding the bomber was an option but that’s not the case.”
Commenter 2: “Skills are always needed. Join local CERT, get medical training, stay fit, stay alert, and above all pray.”
Commenter 3: “I’m a nurse in Brigham and Women’s Hospital ED and was there yesterday, it was pretty horrific to say the least.. I can tell you the best way to avoid getting killed or maimed in a situation like this, stay out of crowds and places of potential target. And unless you can really help someone, get out of Dodge and keep a low profile-low low silhouette while your moving..”
Commenter 4: “This assumes my family is safe. As a former EMT/Vol FF, I would assist as I could. I live in a small rural community and spend most of my time in communities of equal or only slightly higher target value. I do fnd myself being a bit Situationally aware when in the larger cities of the area/state; bigger the city/event the higher the SA. There is that sense at times that something is just not right; we need to listen to that little voice in the back of our head and exit the area. Like the guys who have been in the mid east talk about a dead animal at the side of the road, fresh dirt at the side of the road, a car sitting on the side of the road; all things that tell them something ain’t right or may not be right. Any of these may be the normal but if they are not and you ignore them you may be dead. We need to look at the norm and wonder if they are normal or are they not?”
