|                       CRITICAL EMERGENCY DISCLAIMER                             |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1. NOT AN EMERGENCY DISPATCH SERVICE                                            |
|    - Emergency Guide is not an emergency response provider, public safety      |
|      answering point (PSAP), or law enforcement dispatch facility.              |
|    - IN AN ACTIVE EMERGENCY INVOLVING THREAT TO HUMAN LIFE, SEVERE INJURY,      |
|      OR ACTIVE CRIME, IMMEDIATELY CALL YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBER    |
|      (SUCH AS 911, 999, 112, OR 000). DO NOT RELY ON THIS WEBSITE TO SUMMON     |
|      FIRST RESPONDERS OR DELIVER RESCUE TEAMS.                                  |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 2. PRIMACY OF ON-SCENE EMERGENCY AUTHORITIES                                    |
|    - Instructions delivered directly by on-scene emergency personnel, certified |
|      physicians, paramedics, firefighters, police officers, and official        |
|      civil defense evacuation authorities ALWAYS take absolute precedence over  |
|      any text, diagram, or checklist on this website.                           |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 3. NO PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL, CLINICAL, OR LEGAL ADVICE                           |
|    - Nothing contained on Emergency Guide constitutes formal medical diagnosis, |
|      clinical treatment plans, pharmacological prescriptions, or legal counsel. |
|    - First aid guides are intended exclusively as interim bystander reference   |
|      measures while emergency medical services are in transit.                  |
|    - Always seek the advice of a qualified physician, medical provider, or      |
|      licensed attorney for specific clinical or legal determinations.           |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 4. NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR ACCREDITED HANDS-ON TRAINING                            |
|    - Reading an electronic guide cannot replicate muscle memory and procedural  |
|      competence gained through certified, hands-on training. We urge all users  |
|      to enroll in accredited First Aid, CPR, AED, and CERT courses certified by |
|      the Red Cross, Red Crescent, St John Ambulance, or municipal agencies.    |
