BOGOR REGENCY - Disaster emergency practitioner from Dompet Dhuafa Dompet Dhuafa Dompet (RDK) Muhammad Faisal invites the public to understand basic life support skills, so that people know the steps that must be taken when a disaster occurs.

The basic life assistance skills are summarized in the acronyms of Danger, Response, Send for help, Circulation, Airway, and Breathe (DRSCAB).

"That's an emergency principle, Danger's D. Make sure it's safe, environmentally safe, patient. That is, our personal safety takes precedence, safety first," Faisal told ANTARA during a disaster management training activity held in the Gunung Bunder area, Pamijahan, Bogor Regency, West Java, Saturday.

The second is R for Response, namely by looking at the victim's response by tapping the victim's body parts to check whether there is a pulse or not, for further resuscitation of the Lung Heart (RJP).

"With any condition, fractures, bleeding, burns, if the heart doesn't work, it's useless for us to do help. That means, the most crucial thing we ensure is that the function of his heart, the heart rate must be there," he explained.

The third is S for Send for help or looking for reinforcements. He stressed that the public needs to know the integrated emergency contact 112, in order to speed up the rescue process in a state of emergency.

Next is C for Circulation, which means checking the respiratory circulation of victims during a disaster. Then A for Airway, namely by maintaining air channels that enter and leave disaster victims, as well as B for Breathe which means ensuring the victim is to keep breathing.

"People must be able to provide first aid. At least for themselves, their families, and other communities," said Faisal.

If these various efforts can be understood by the whole community, Faisal hopes that one day there will be a spirit of resistance from every community, so that casualties in an event of natural disasters can be minimized.

It is known that basic life assistance training is one of the programs carried out in disaster management training for around 200 volunteers held by Dompet Dhuafa.
