Being familiar with it makes response to injuries or emergencies more immediate and efficient, thus lessening the severity of the injury or emergency.Resources refer to the supplies, equipment, facilities, and services that can be utilized in case of a sports- or fitness-related injury or emergency. They include both material and human resources such as safety supplies, equipment, facilities, qualified and trained emergency personnel, as well as standard protocols set for such situations. Emergency response begins with the preparation of both equipment and personnel. When these have been prepared adequately, the school and community, are deemed ready for an injury or emergency. It is important that you are able to identify these resources so that injuries or emergencies will be addressed immediately and efficiently. These resources are, discussed here., First Aid Kit, First aid is the immediate care given to a person who has been injured or suddenly become ill. First aid deals with self-help and proper home care, especially if medical assistance is not immediately available. The goal of first aid is to alleviate suffering, prevent added/further injury or danger, and prolong life. The first aid kit is a set of supplies and equipment used to administer first aid. In your school and community,, first aid kits should be available, visible, and readily accessible in case of injuries or emergencies. It should also be regularly checked for completeness and freshness of supplies., The usual supplies found in a first aid kit include the following:,  triangular bandage  rubbing alcohol  gloves  iodine,  tongue depressor  swabs  gauze  scissors,  wound dressings  athletic tape  cotton  penlight,  adhesive bandage  forceps, Other equipment that should be included to aid in first aid are the following:,  spine board  blankets  sets of splints  short board/Kendrick’s, extrication device  wheelchair  poles, Emergency Numbers and Phone/Two-way Radio, Emergency numbers include police department, fire department, Philippine Red Cross (PRC), and other pertinent numbers. These numbers are usually compiled per area (i.e. locality, municipality, city) and written on a calling, card or bookmark or even larger. In schools, emergency numbers could include the clinic, security, and other offices., Emergency numbers should also be posted near phones and inside offices. It is advisable that in the gym and recreation centers, phones are visible so that school personnel or other individuals can notify pertinent offices or departments in case of injury or emergency., Emergency Response Procedure/Emergency Action Plan (EAP), For schools and the community (and in any other institution), the presence of first aid kits, emergency numbers and phones, and equipment should not be the end of their emergency response. They should set procedures on how to respond to injuries or emergencies. These procedures are standard ways of responding to emergencies. These procedures make up what is called an Emergency Action Plan (EAP). It is a plan developed for immediate implementation whenever the need arises, providing appropriate standards of emergency care to all present. The EAP usually include the following:, 1. Emergency Personnel – detailed First Aid arrangements for on-site, emergencies; may consist of teachers, physicians and nurses, athletic, coaches, security and maintenance personnel (for schools), or community, leaders, and homeowners’ association president, (for community), 2. Emergency Communication – emergency numbers, phones/two-way radio,, public announcement (PA) system, 3. Emergency Equipment – first aid kit, wheelchair, spine board, stretcher,, blankets, poles, etc, 4. Medical Transportation – confirmation of local ambulance (c/o PRC), Basic, Life Support, etc, 5. Non-medical Transportation – wheelchairs, stretcher, etc, 6. Emergency Contact List – clinic, local hospital, etc, 7. Venue Information – transportations, identified entrance, exits, and access, routes, In the community, it is advisable to form a community emergency response team which will be the emergency personnel in your EAP. It is advisable that the members of the community know who forms this emergency response team. You may not know all the procedures of your school and community in responding to emergencies. However, what is important is you know who to notify in case an emergency happens. The most immediate personnel you need to notify in case you are in your school especially in the gym are the PE teachers or any teacher present, maintenance personnel, or security personnel., Activity: Safety features in the community, Analyze a real-life injury situation involving common citizen in their community/barangay. Ask them, what emergency response procedures they think were followed? identify safety features that are visible in the community/barangay that only community leaders have access to. Make a short portfolio, about your findings and make recommendations., Prepared by: Eduard N. Villaflor, MAPEH/HOPE Teacher, Approved by: Estrella E. Baldorado, Principal I
