How to keep children safe in a stampede like Aquarius? Note tips

Decide the place to meet

When you go to a fair or temple and there is a lot of crowd, then the landmark you see as soon as you enter, you must introduce the child. Tell him/her that if he/she gets lost or separates in the crowd, he/she has to come to this place and wait for you. You too will come and meet him/her there. Ask the child to recognize this place and remember his/her name.

Teach security personnel to recognize

Tell the child that if he/she separates from you, he/she has to seek help from a policeman, security guard or volunteer. You should also teach the child to identify them. Make him/her alert in advance that he/she does not have to come in the words of an unknown person.

Teach the technique of staying safe during stampede

When the stampede took place, advise the child to remain calm instead of panic. If the crowd is moving forward, walk with it and do not try to run in the opposite direction. Explain to the children that they avoid getting stuck near a wall, pillar or mesh during a stampede, as it can be difficult to get out of there.

What to do if you fall into a stampede

Teach the child that if he/she falls during the stampede, he/she has to try to stand with his/her hands and knees immediately. If he/she cannot get up, then cover his/her head with hands and lie down on one side.

Remember safety rules

Whenever you go to a big event or a crowded place, let the child already explain all the security rules. With this, children will already be cautious and will be able to take care of their safety. Whenever you go to a crowded place, remember the color and pattern of your child’s clothes. It would be better to wear bright colored clothes to the child so that they can see from far away.
