Hi Guys & Girls
If possible I would like to have a quick chat to as big a group as possible to explain to you how we can help you, and also how you can help us. Until such time always keep the following in mind if you do need to contact us. 1.) What happened? (We’ve been cycling and we have been attacked.) As cruel as it sound this always gets the person on the other side’s immediate attention and also put him or her at the ready to start taking down info. 2.) Who you are and your contact number. You will be called back the minute that you have put down the phone by the response teams to get as much info as possible from you and to relay it to the other responders. 3.) Where the incident occurred, it is extremely important to be precise of where you are by using the following .e.g. We were on route from Midrand Cable ski line to Smuts house, this will give us a general idea in which direction to go and the incident occurred at the old mining site (die groot gat), this will tell us where you are on that road, a clear landmark. 4.) Please keep in mind that ambulances don’t know the “woods like we do”, that is why it is important for us to know where you are in order to get what help you require to you. 5.) At this stage you will no longer be in contact with the control centre but with the guys rushing to your aid. REMEMBER, you are upset, hurt and maybe alone and the guys coming to you are running blind which means they need to know in which direction the perpetrators has gone and also what they were wearing in order to apprehend and also to avoid being mugged ass well as the only thing on these guys mind is to get as much distance from you as possible. A red top or yellow shirt, something that stands out and also the amount of people that attached you. All this info will be relayed to the rest of the teams that will be responding by radio. Always try to keep your phone line open for calls coming from us if we require more information. It is my sincere hope that we will never meet under these circumstances, but we are there to help so if anything does happen please contact us immediately to put us in a position to render you assistance.
