Confirm you can reach Emergency Services or your Safe Call, if needed
- Safe calls – Set them up, make sure everyone knows you have one and when you will need to be free to be able to make/take the call. More on this below.
- Medical – Make your plans to accommodate all medical needs. Make sure everyone has taken all their prescribed medication. Make sure you have any necessary medical emergency equipment and supplies – inhaler, emergency glucagon kit, etc – within reach.
- Know the emergency services number in that area. It is 911 in North America. In other countries, 999 and 112 are common. If you don’t know, find out before you start playing.
- Confirm that your phone is charged and that you have a good signal in case you need to contact emergency services.
- Know the physical address of the location you are playing in case you need to direct medical services to your location.
- If something happens that requires a medical professional, DON’T HESITATE to call them. This is not a time to be worried about being embarrassed. Trust me, they have seen it all before; whatever you were doing may not even be particularly interesting to them anymore. Don’t let someone die because of your embarrassment.
