In an emergency, an injured person may not be able to call for help and may need to rely on the intervention of passing strangers for assistance. Many states have enacted “Good Samaritan” laws that protect individuals who act in good faith to help others from undue civil or criminal penalties. New York’s Good Samaritan Laws can pertain to preventing a drug overdose death, administering a defibrillator to resuscitate a person in a public institution, or giving life-saving treatment such as CPR in an emergency.

Keep at least a 3-day supply of water for each person in your household. If you have questions about the quality of the water, purify it before drinking. You can heat water to a rolling boil for 1 minute or use commercial purification tablets to purify the water. You can also use regular household liquid chlorine bleach if it is pure 5.25 – 6.0 percent sodium hypochlorite. (Do not use perfumed bleach!) After adding bleach, shake or stir the water container and let it stand 30 minutes before drinking.

Integrated post–cardiac arrest care. After the person is resuscitated, an interdisciplinary team of medical professionals works to stabilize the person’s medical condition, minimize complications, and diagnose and treat the underlying cause of the cardiac arrest to improve survival outcomes.
