Follow these Steps:
1. Take a deep breath and take a few seconds to collect yourself.
2.Dial 911
3. Ask the operator for an ambulance.
4.Give them the following:
• your location
• the number of the phone you are calling from, if you know it.
• If you are in a public place- give the operator the nearest intersection or landmark (example First and Main street).
• Tell them your name, the injured person’s name and why you need an ambulance. Relate as much medical history possible.
5.Stay calm and follow their advice. They will stay on the phone until the police and/or an ambulance arrives to assist you.
Ask yourself the following questions:• Is the victim’s condition life-threatening?
• Could the victim’s condition worsen and become life-threatening on the way to the hospital?
• Could moving the victim cause further injury?
• Does the victim need the skills or equipment of paramedics or emergency medical technicians?
• Would distance or traffic conditions cause a delay in getting the victim to the hospital?If the answer to any of these questions is YES or if you are unsure, it’s best to call an ambulance. This is true even though you can sometimes get to the hospital faster by driving than by calling an ambulance. Paramedics and emergency medical technicians communicate with the physician in the emergency department by radio. They are trained to begin medical treatment on the way to the hospital. This prevents any delay that could occur if the patient is driven to the emergency department. The ambulance can also alert the emergency department of the patient’s condition in advance.

Borough council work session meetings are held the last Tuesday of each month at 7 PM in the council chamber of the Verona Municipal BuildingPennsylvania delegates authority to borough government to represent the citizens within its electoral district in governmental affairs and to protect their inalienable rights. Being given this power, borough government is obligated to use its authority to judiciously defend every individual’s rights for the well being of the society as a whole. Borough government is a legitimate entity because, (1) its governing body is elected by popular vote and (2) because it is defined through written laws (State’s Borough Code). Borough government acts as the local overseer of rules that act as regulators that guide society. It acts as the representative that speaks for and on behalf of its citizens at the various levels of government. The role of local government is constantly evolving. As it changes, so does its influence and responsibilities to its constituents. The responsibilities taken by modern borough government is increasingly complex in nature; the actions taken by borough government may have profound and long lasting effects on the borough it serves.
