Emergencies happen. When there is an emergency or disaster anyone may need help. The helper might be a first responder, a volunteer or a neighbor. Unfortunately sometimes people who need help the most can provide additional challenges to first responders and others who want to help them. When someone is there to help but doesn’t know how this can be a very frustrating and potentially dangerous problem. Problems communicating or knowing how to help can limit what a responder can do.
