Stop and orient yourself. Where are you? Who was with you? What exactly happened?
Decide what you need to do immediately and who has to be notified.
Figure out if you are ok, In shock you are unaware of your own well-being.
Who is there to help you and do you need the help they are offering?
Make no important decisions in the first few hours after a disaster. Just stabilize yourself and those who are with you. Clear thinking needs time and some rest to return.
Be grateful that your eyes are open and you are breathing, not everyone gets that.
