- Nature of medical emergency.
- Building name and address.
- Exact location and name of sick or injured person.

- Nature of medical emergency.
- Exact location and name of sick or injured person.
- Whether or not you have called for trained assistance.
- A number where you can be reached.
- Direct any on-lookers away from the area of the injured person. Clear the area of any objects that might impede the rescue or interfere with emergency personnel.
- Remain with the victim. Do not move the victim unless there is immediate danger of further injury. Keep the victim comfortable and warm.
- Designate a responsible person to do the following:
- Wait at the building's main entrance for medical personnel. When they arrive, direct them to the injured person.
- Whenever possible, have an elevator standing for the rescue team.
