- - - - Rule of thumb, educated guesses, "guesstimating," common sense, etc.
    - - Checking airway, then breathing, then circulation, etc.
    - - less than 30 sec to hear thunder after seeing the flash = lightning is near enough to be a danger / after the storm ends wait 30 min before resuming movement
  - - - Even if you have a set plan for an emergency (lets say a rock-slide), it will not go as planned. The first aid kit may be crushed, the injured might be too far or injured to help, etc. Whatever the case, you will need to adapt to the situation.
    - - Whether or not someone is safe, can be moved, etc.
  - - - Mitigation is not stemming the flow of blood so much as it is pulling someone out harms way. It is different from safety protocols.
  - - - For the sake of clarity, so as not to confuse uninjured and injured people, you could say that someone who is uninjured and out of the way of the clear and present danger is safe, but ultimately, they're not.
- - - - Make sure instructions are specific and clear: the last thing you want is the situation being exacerbated out of confusion.

  - - - If you're not careful you miss something that will worsen the situation.
  - - - Make sure others are clear of danger, so that they don't also become casualties.
    - - Take after those that cannot help themselves.
    - - Look after yourself first. You can't help anyone if you get injured.
    - - It can be replaced. Get to it when you have time.
