Some things need a parent. Some things need 911. Knowing which is the skill.

A child at a kitchen table, thinking. Two thought bubbles above him – a bike with a bent wheel on one side, a dog that has got out on the other – and a question mark between them. He is weighing them up, not distressed. The picture must show the JUDGEMENT, which is the lesson, not an accident.

NARRATORWhen you’re home alone, help should always be just a phone call (or text message) away. In non-emergency situations you should call a parent, guardian or backup person for help. Some examples of non-emergency situations are: You’re feeling ill or there’s nothing to eat in the fridge. The toilet is leaking, you’re afraid of lightning or thunderstorms. Your bike got stolen at school or your dog gets out of the house. For emergencies, always call 911 or the Emergency Medical Services number for your community.

This is how you dial 911, digit by digit.

A modern smartphone keypad, held straight to camera. 9, then 1, then 1 light up ONE AT A TIME as the narrator says them, then the green call button. Nothing else in frame. No hands dialling in a panic – this is a calm demonstration.

NARRATORThe phone number for Emergency Medical Services or EMS in most communities in North America is 911. If your community doesn’t use the 911 service, ask an adult what the right number is and be sure to include it in your Important Contact Information sheet. Keep your sheet handy and encourage everyone in your home to learn how to use these numbers.

The dispatcher needs three things: your name, where you are, what has happened.

The dispatcher at her desk in an EMS dispatch centre, headset on, calm and unhurried, screens beside her. She is LISTENING, not speaking – this shot is narrated. Her name field and a map with a dropped pin appear on her screen as the narration reaches them.

NARRATORWhen you call EMS, the dispatcher will want to know your name, your location and details about the emergency.

These are the people who come, and they are safe to trust.

The three responders standing together in daylight beside their vehicles – ambulance, police car, fire engine. Open, friendly, approachable. Velma’s requirement, verbatim: at least one or two visible minorities and at least one woman. Nobody is running; nothing is on fire.

NARRATORFirefighters, police or an ambulance (and sometimes all three) will be sent to help you. You can trust these emergency workers to help keep you safe. Don’t be afraid of them.

He is OUT of the house before he calls. Out first, then call.

SPLIT SCREEN, established. LEFT: the dispatcher in the EMS centre. RIGHT: Jackson, ten, standing outside his own house on the neighbour’s path, phone to his ear, the adult woman neighbour beside him with a hand near his shoulder, not on him. Daylight. He is out of the house already – that is the whole point of the shot.

NARRATORA carbon monoxide detector has gone off. Listen to what Jackson does.

This is what the detector looks like and this is the noise it makes.

A real carbon monoxide detector on a hallway ceiling, close, so a child would recognise their own. Its alarm light pulses and THE ACTUAL ALARM SOUND PLAYS – Velma asks for this specifically so children learn the noise. No people in frame.

NARRATORThis is a carbon monoxide detector, and this is the sound it makes.

The whole call, start to finish: what happened, everyone out, where, who.

The call itself, held on the split screen. Both speakers are on camera and BOTH ARE SPEAKING, so this is the one-pass method: dialogue quoted in the prompt, each voice sample named. Jackson is frightened but doing it right. The dispatcher is warm and completely unhurried.

911Hello 911, what is your emergency?

JACKSONThe carbon monoxide detector near the kitchen went off and I got out of my house fast. I’m calling from my neighbour’s house.

911Is everyone out of the house?

JACKSONYes.

911What is your location?

JACKSON12 Main St., Quincy, California.

911What is your name?

JACKSONJackson O’Leary.

911Ok Jackson, firefighters are on the way. We are glad you are out of the house. The firefighters will be there soon! They will check it out!

Any of the three may be sent, or all three.

An ambulance, a police car and a fire engine moving through an ordinary town in daylight, lights on. A siren under it. Nobody hurt on screen, no crash, no smoke – this is the roll-call of who comes, not a disaster.

NARRATORWhen you call 911 or EMS they may dispatch fire, police, ambulance or all three. Take a look at these situations. Listen to the description of the emergency and click on which EMS service you think will be dispatched.

These seven are the ones that mean 911, every time.

Seven short calm illustrations, one per condition, each held while it is named. These are TEACHING PICTURES, not distress: a person lying still with a child calling their name; a fall on stairs; a spilled medicine bottle with a hand stopping short of it; someone holding their chest; a hand under cold running water; a pad pressed firmly on an arm. Nobody screams. No blood beyond a small realistic amount. No faces in agony.

NARRATORCall 911 fast for these medical emergencies. Try to stay calm. Unconscious or unresponsive. This means that when you call their name or tap their shoulder, they aren’t waking up or aren’t responding. Head injury, spine injury or broken bones. These can happen if someone falls, gets hit, or has a hard crash. Poisoning. This can happen when someone eats, drinks, breathes in or touches something that can make them very sick, such as medicine, chemicals or certain plants. Not breathing or having difficulty breathing. Serious burns. These can happen when skin is badly hurt by things like fire, hot liquids, electricity or chemicals. Losing a lot of blood and the bleeding won’t stop. Pain in the chest that is sudden, or serious – this is more common in adults.

FLAG-B6-07

Storyboard walked Fri 29 Aug 2026

For everything else, a parent or back-up person is the right call.

A child on the phone to a parent, relaxed, at home. Ordinary, unremarkable, warm. The opposite of the 911 shots on purpose.

NARRATORFor non-emergencies, call your parents or trusted adult. Someone should always be just a phone call away. Call them if you are not feeling well or have injured yourself in a way that is not serious. Call them if something wrong happens at home or on your way home, like the toilet overflows or someone is bullying you at school. If you’re not sure, just call them or your back-up person when you feel you need to.

Every home should have one, and you should know where yours is.

A closed first aid kit on a kitchen counter. It opens and a CHILD’S HAND lifts the contents out one at a time and lays them in a row. Velma’s ask, verbatim: ‘when a user clicks on it, it will open and child’s hand takes out contents of the kit.’ Hands only, no face.

There is an order to first aid, and SCAN is how you remember it.

The SOS first aid kit at the top of a short flight of steps wearing a detective’s deerstalker – Velma’s original visual, kept. Warm, a little funny, not spooky.

NARRATORIt is important to understand the steps to follow when giving first aid in order to keep yourself safe. The word to help you remember these important first aid steps is SCAN. Click on each letter to learn what it stands for.

FLAG-B6-10

Storyboard walked Fri 29 Aug 2026

S is scan: the area first, because your safety comes first, then the person.

S. A magnifying glass over a scene, the detective dog beside it. The glass moves over the DANGER first – a wet floor, a road, a wire – and only then over the person. That order is the teaching and the shot must show it in that order.

NARRATORS stands for SCAN. Like a detective, you need to scan for clues! Use your senses to look, listen, smell, or feel to figure out what the problem is. Stay back from anything that is dangerous – your safety comes first. Also scan the person that you are giving first aid to. Check for these important things: Are they conscious? Are they breathing? What is the injury?

FLAG-B6-10

Storyboard walked Fri 29 Aug 2026

C is call: shout for help, then EMS for an emergency or a parent for anything else.

C. A child turning and calling out for help, then a phone. Two actions, in that order: shout first, then dial.

NARRATORC stands for CALL. Once you realize there is a problem, you will need help. If there are people around you, shout for help. Call EMS immediately for emergencies. For non-emergencies call your parent, guardian or back-up person.

A is act: what you do depends on the injury.

A. Hands doing something useful and simple – pressing a pad on a graze. Competent, unhurried, no drama.

NARRATORA stands for ACT. This means taking action and helping the person. What you do to help the person or yourself will depend on the injury or illness.

The right tool for a bleeding graze is gloves and a clean dressing.

Three choices: a clean dressing, safety pins, tweezers.

QUESTIONWhat should the neighbour use to stop the bleeding?

IF RIGHTCorrect, for minor cuts and scrapes, you will need vinyl gloves and a clean dressing to stop the bleeding and to prevent infection. To stop the bleeding, apply pressure to the wound until the bleeding stops. Once the bleeding stops, clean the wound with soap and water and put an adhesive bandage, large enough to cover the wound, over it.

Storyboard walked Fri 29 Aug 2026

Gloves on, dressing out of the wrapper, firm pressure, keep it there.

Hands and forearms only, no faces. The neighbour pulls on vinyl gloves, opens a sterile dressing from its wrapper, and presses it firmly on the knee. She does NOT lift it to look. Velma is explicit: do not show the wound being cleaned here, that comes later in the Brandon film.

NARRATORPut on your gloves. Take a clean dressing from its wrapper, place it over the wound, and press firmly until the bleeding stops.

Sprains: rest it, keep it still, cool it, raise it.

The wrist. R – he stops using it. I – she moves his arm gently against his chest and he supports it with his other hand. C – the instant ice pack from the kit goes on. E – she rests the wrist up on a cushion, and stops the moment he winces. Each letter is SHOWN as it is said, in order.

NARRATORWhen treating sprains and strains use the RICE method. R stands for REST! Stop all activity. The injured limb needs rest. I stands for Immobilize! This means keep it still, don’t move the injured part. This will help to prevent further injury. C stands for COLD. Cold temperatures can help reduce swelling. You can use an instant ice pack from your first aid kit or wrap ice in cloth. E stands for ELEVATE. Only if it doesn’t cause more pain.

Alone and choking: call, leave the line open, and thrust against a hard edge.

2017 live action, SILENT – the clip carries no audio track. The demonstration of thrusting the abdomen against a chair back. Narration is laid over it. It is a 296×338 upright clip and will need framing on the house canvas rather than stretching.

NARRATORIf you were home alone and started to choke what would you do? Follow these steps to learn how to help yourself. Step 1. Call 911 or EMS, and leave the phone off the hook. EMS will trace your call if you can’t speak. Step 2. Push your abdomen against the back of a hard edge like a chair, table or counter. Step 3. Repeat this until help arrives or the object is removed.
