Kuantan emergency first steps: call, locate and wait safely

# Kuantan emergency first steps

10-second fit: Use this for an immediate threat to life, safety, fire, crime or serious road incident in Kuantan. It is not a substitute for emergency responders or medical advice.

Move away from traffic, fire, floodwater, violence or unstable structures only if it is safe. Do not put yourself at risk to film, retrieve belongings or help beyond your ability.

Say what happened, your exact location or nearest recognisable point, the number of people affected and any immediate danger. Stay on the line and follow the operator's directions. Malaysia's emergency response information is published by the National Disaster Management Agency: https://www.mkn.gov.my/web/ms/2020/08/13/999/

In Kuantan, name the road, building, park entrance, beach access, landmark or nearby junction. Send a live location to a trusted contact only when it is safe; do not delay an emergency call while trying to describe every detail.

For a medical issue, remain with the person if it is safe and do not move someone after a fall, collision or suspected spinal injury unless there is immediate danger. For fire, flooding or crime, move to a safer public place and wait for responders.

For weather-related risk, use the Malaysian Meteorological Department for current warnings and forecasts: https://www.met.gov.my/. Cancel or change a plan if officials, venue staff or emergency services advise it.

• Keep your phone charged where possible.
• Tell responders about hazards, children, older people or disabilities.
• Do not share casualty images online.
• For non-emergency local matters, use the relevant public-service contact instead of blocking emergency lines.

This guide does not diagnose illness, replace official instructions, or promise response times. In an immediate danger situation, call 999 first.
