----- Forwarded Message -----From: "'Chicago Aneinu' via chicago-aneinu" <chicago-aneinu@googlegroups.com>To: "Chaya Miriam Wolper" <myysbyy@aol.com>Sent: Mon, Nov 13, 2023 at 10:04 PMSubject: [chicago-aneinu] Important Info for those attending the rally in Washington--Here are some safety tips when being in large crowds.Especially if God forbid something happensHow to protect yourself from a crowd crushA crowd crush happens when a large group of people end up squished together in a confined space and don't have much, or any, room to move. It can quickly become a dangerous situation, so it's important to know what steps you might take.Keep your eyes open, see where the crowd thins and make your way out if possible.Try to remain upright, as a crowd crush can cause people to fall and become trampled.Position your arms in front of your chest like a boxer so that your lungs have room to breathe.Try not to panic and save your breath.Move away from barriers unless you can use them to safely escape. Barriers can be dangerous because you may get crushed against it and not be able to breathe.Help prevent injuryWhen in a large crowd, keep these tips in mind.Locate and identify your exits.Consider leaving if the crowd seems to be getting out of control.Don't wear loose clothing or accessories that could become tangled or pulled.Wear closed-toe shoes and keep the laces tied to help prevent tripping.Avoid standing on or near structures that could collapse.Walk around big crowds rather than pushing through them.Leave early or late to avoid the rush when the event is over.If you're caught in a moving crowd, walk sideways or diagonally to make your way out.See that your phone is fully charged and turned on before the event. You may want to program it to vibrate and ring.Try to stay with your group if possible.Discuss two recognizable places ahead of time where you can meet your group if you become separated.Look for posted and recognizable signage to help find your way.Locate ushers or security at the event for help or information.Child safety in large crowdsKeep a diligent eye on your children.Dress your group alike or in bright-colored, unique clothing.Before leaving the house, take a photo of your child with a camera or phone. If you become separated, you will have an up-to-date photo of your child and what he or she is wearing to give to officials.Remind younger children to avoid strangers and help them identify police officers or officials to go to if they were to become lost.Place your phone number in your child's pocket in case you're separated.If you find yourself in a crowd crush with your child, try to put them on your shoulders so they are above the crowd and can breathe.Deter pickpocketsTry to carry only your identification, cash and one credit card.Carry important items in your front pockets.Wrap a rubber band around your wallet so it's more difficult to remove from your pocket.Choose a purse with zipper, button or clasp closures and a strap that hangs across your body.Consider using a radio frequency identification (RFID) blocking wallet to help protect your cards. This technology can help protect your personal information from digital theft by blocking radio waves.
