Don't Panic, This Is What Must Be Done If You Are Trapped In The Elevator

YOGYAKARTA - Have you ever imagined being trapped alone in an elevator? Don't panic! There are several things you can do to stay calm and ask for help. So what to do if you're stuck in an elevator?

This article will discuss steps that need to be taken if you are trapped in an elevator, from how to contact officers to how to maintain calm.

Reporting from Rom LAW, here are some tips that must be done when you are trapped in the elevator:

The first thing you want to do if you're stuck in the elevator is call 911 and tell them what happened. Dispatch officers can then send the police and firefighters as needed to help you.

It's hard to think clearly when you're hysterical. By staying calm, you can make better decisions. Try to breathe slowly and remind yourself that you may not be in real danger.

Sometimes when the elevator is stuck, the lights will go out. If so, try using the flashlight on your phone or any other light you have to see the people around you and the elevator panel to press the right button. Remember to save battery power if you need your phone again.

Like most electronics, if you find that the elevator is stuck and not working properly, you may want to solve the problem. For the elevator, this may mean trying to press the "Open Door" and "Close Door" buttons.

If this is not effective, you can also try pressing the floor above or below you. If you try these three buttons and don't help, go to the next suggestion - don't keep pressing the button.

You can try pressing the "Call" button, which is often displayed as a button with the phone image on it. The Call button helps connect you with the technician, who will tell about your problem.

The alarm button on the elevator is useful for letting people in the building that someone in the elevator needs help (usually because they are trapped).

If the alarm fails to connect you with maintenance staff, try to sound it again and try to return. But if the maintenance department doesn't hear it, it's likely that someone in the building will hear it and then notify the officers on guard.

If after pressing the door open button, close the door, call, and your alarm is still unable to reach anyone for help, the next best thing is to try to scream for help. If no one responds immediately, you can also try hitting the elevator door with objects to attract attention.

Once you are connected to maintenance staff or other people in the building, it is very important to wait patiently for help to arrive. Most likely you will be helped out of the elevator in just half an hour.

While you're waiting for help, it's fun to chat with other people in the elevator (if any). In addition, it becomes very useful to take your mind off the current situation by getting involved with the people around you.
