It is the nature of an emergency to impose stress, confusion and anxiety on us. Our initial response is automatic, even instinctive, and flies in the face of almost every rational, logical action. Take the example of putting on oxygen masks during an emergency landing. Instinct says first to put the mask on the child, whereas in reality, if you want to save both yourself and the child, you must first put on your own mask and only afterwards help your child. Therefore, our actions in an emergency must be planned ahead of time, and be dictated by rationality, information, and prior experience. There is no point in trying to look for new answers to a concrete danger while it’s threatening you. It is well-known that people who have planned on how to cope with emergencies and know what to do, have been able to act correctly and thereby to save themselves, their family members, and those in their surroundings. Furthermore, studies have amply demonstrated that when a first response is organized and properly divided up among a number of people (a flight crew, an institutional faculty, a family), who have mapped out the actions that must done and divided them up between team members prior to the event, it improves the odds of coping with the emergency and raises people’s survival chances. As early as the second stage of the family talk, it is important to divide the tasks and activities up among family members.
