Niba itera urubori

  • Sohoka mu mazi kandi ukureho imirya yayo (tentacles) yose ukoresheje uturindantoki cyangwa igitambaro.
  • Ku box jellyfish zo mu turere dushyuha: suka vinegere aho zateye urubori nibura amasegonda 30, hamagara ubutabazi kandi witegure gukora CPR (gukanda igituza no guhumekera umuntu). Ku bluebottle no ku zindi nyinshi: oza n'amazi y'inyanja, hanyuma ukoreshe amazi ashyushye kubera ububabare.

Buri gihe banza uhamagare nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911). Izi ni inama rusange z'ubutabazi bw'ibanze, si inama za muganga. Ibanze by'ubutabazi bw'ibanze

Irinde akaga

  • Ntuzigere ukora, ufata cyangwa ushotora inyamaswa yo mu gasozi, nubwo yaba ntoya, kandi nubwo yasa n'isinziriye cyangwa yapfuye.
  • Yihe umwanya. Niba uhuye n'imwe, tuza, usubire inyuma buhoro buhoro kandi uyireke yigendere.
  • Niba imwe igutereye urubori: tuza, ntunyeganyege, hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911) cyangwa ujye ku bitaro vuba. Ibuka uko yasaga, ifoto irafasha.

Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Ikoresha ubumara bwayo kugira ngo ifate ibyo kurya cyangwa yirinde, kandi ikunda cyane kwihisha. Ibindi ku kwirinda
