- 5. Calling for help is often the most important action you can take to help an ill or injured person. Call 911 or the local emergency number (If there are other people at the scene, ask someone else to call for you to help!) Make sure you give the 911 operator the correct information about your location, the emergency, and any other information you are able to give about the emergency!
