Three numbered cards answer one question in turn: stay safe (stay calm, look for danger, don't rush in), get help (ask a trusted adult or call your local emergency number, say where you are and what happened, stay on the line until they say you can hang up), and follow the plan you practised. A small fire-drill picture shows the exit route to the meeting place, a reminder to listen to the adults in charge follows, and the video ends on the recap "In an emergency: stay safe, get help, follow the plan".
