What should participants do after an emergency is resolved?

After an emergency is resolved, it is important for participants to wait for permission to begin again. This step ensures that everyone involved can assess the situation thoroughly before resuming activities. It is crucial to confirm that the environment is safe for all participants and that any potential hazards have been addressed.

Waiting for permission adds a layer of safety, as it allows for an evaluation of the circumstances that led to the emergency, ensuring that the same issues do not arise again. In many scenarios, instructors or organizers may need to conduct a brief assessment to ensure all individuals are accounted for and that it is indeed safe to continue. This reinforces the importance of safety protocols and demonstrates responsible leadership in managing group activities after an emergency situation.

In contrast, simply resuming activities as normal could potentially expose participants to further risks if the situation has not been fully resolved. Discussing the event with others and evaluating the causes are important steps but typically should occur after ensuring a safe environment and receiving appropriate permissions.
