When an emergency situation comes up, it is constantly wise to remain calm.
Freaking out will get you nowhere however making things worse.
In a situation appreciate I had the other month, keeping calm was the best way. My central air conditioning plan had broke down smack in the middle of a immense heatwave every one of us were having, & by my luck, there was no certified HVAC specialists available for emergency Heating & A/C service service! So the next step was to schedule the heating & cooling service appointment for the next day & then go to hotel to take shelter in full working air conditioning; But even that backfired as the hotel in village was all booked up due to some convention in town. I was in real trouble & at a high life risk having nowhere to take shelter in this horrible heatwave with no air conditioning! Rather than freaking out & getting myself sicker than I may become naturally, I was calm & thought things out. I went into pure survival mode. I was able to get by till the next day through drinking lots of cold water, throwing cold water from the fridge on myself, & then I ended up taking naps in my car which had perfectly working air conditioning! This is how I survived this terrible 24 third period. It was sheer hell, although I survived by keeping calm & thinking logically on how to survive! The HVAC specialist fixed the air conditioning the next day, & I took a legitimately long nap after that!
