# 🚑 Emergency Procedures # Interpersonal Conflict If you are witness to a conflict, call for help from Con Ops or FLARE. Never try to handle an interpersonal conflict yourself, and definitely never intervene or put yourself in harm’s way. # Person in danger If someone tells you they feel threatened or endangered in any way, *personally escort that person* to Con Ops or FLARE base. Don't just tell them where to go; *escort them personally*. If your post needs securing, ask them if they’re willing to wait with you for a minute or two while you secure your post. If the person seems frightened or needs an immediate escort, **abandon your post** and just get back as quickly as you can. Their safety is more important than your post. # Minor medical issue *Ex: heatstroke, cuts and scrapes, sprains* FLARE is equipped to assist. Call for their help or direct them to FLARE base if they're able to walk there. # Seizure For a seizure, cushion the person’s fall if you can, and let them convulse naturally in place. *Do not restrain them in any way or put anything in their mouth.* Clear hard objects away from them, then radio for FLARE and ask a bystander to go get help. # Major medical emergency *Ex: not breathing, heart attack, major bleeding* *Stay with the victim* to protect them from unqualified “help.” Send a bystander to “find any phone on a wall, and dial 2-911.” Then, call for FLARE on your radio if you have one; they may respond faster than hotel EMS. # Emergency Announcements (aka “Voice of God”) In the event of an announcement needing to be made by designated convention staff, the following equipment is pre-staged to broadcast to the entire room quickly and clearly: Main/Second/Third Stage - A/V Audio Console (Red binder next to console) Nevada room - Microphone behind Volunteer Desk Dealers Den - Microphone located behind Con Store *Misuse of this equipment is taken extremely seriously and will likely get you banned- don’t do it.* # Shelter in Place If an emergency requires attendees to shelter in place, hotel or convention staff will announce over the overhead speakers, instructing everyone to stay where they are until more information is known. Staff and/or ESI Security should be directed to immediately close all external doors/windows to the space you are in and keep them closed until an all-clear signal is given. If you are in your hotel room during a shelter-in-place order, ***stay there***. You are far safer in your room than roaming around trying to get into con space. # Building Evacuation In the event of an emergency that requires the building to evacuate, hotel security assumes immediate control and coordinates with FLARE. Assist only if you are asked; do not try to direct traffic. Calmly exit with everyone else and follow the overhead announcements. # Muster point Once outside, head to the RV park office (outside the office, not inside). From there, we will decide what actions to take next. If you are not at this location, expect a phone call from your lead to confirm your location and safety. # Contacts * **FLARE:** 775-372-7233 (text OK, expect a call back) * **Operations:** 775-980-2532 (text OK, expect a call back) * **Exec On Duty**: 775-490-2532 (text OK) --- **Documents** - [Organizational Chart](https://wiki.goblfc.org/s/6ce06661-12a9-4f18-a1c3-a2e2a5770ae8/doc/organizational-chart-jkIJ1XtbYq) - [Emergency Procedures](https://wiki.goblfc.org/s/6ce06661-12a9-4f18-a1c3-a2e2a5770ae8/doc/emergency-procedures-WfxOThe6tF) - [Conduct Guidelines](https://wiki.goblfc.org/s/6ce06661-12a9-4f18-a1c3-a2e2a5770ae8/doc/conduct-guidelines-CjLtrArpp4) - [General Instructions](https://wiki.goblfc.org/s/6ce06661-12a9-4f18-a1c3-a2e2a5770ae8/doc/general-instructions-yPqef7FFFw) - [Hours of Operation](https://wiki.goblfc.org/s/6ce06661-12a9-4f18-a1c3-a2e2a5770ae8/doc/hours-of-operation-V2ykXB3MCe) - [Layout map](https://wiki.goblfc.org/s/6ce06661-12a9-4f18-a1c3-a2e2a5770ae8/doc/layout-map-2Fy0qH9E84) - [Pack-Up & Load Out](https://wiki.goblfc.org/s/6ce06661-12a9-4f18-a1c3-a2e2a5770ae8/doc/pack-up-load-out-z0rxS1VhbP)
