Avoiding Panic In An Emergency

It is human to get into panic when one is faced with emergency. Unfortunately panic aggravates any situation. A cool mind is half the cure. Whenever there was a situation that came under the category of emergency we always contacted this person who was coolness personified. A systematic approach is what is called for.
Have you handled a situation of emergency and how did you go about it?

In a situation where someone at a family picnic or cookout is injured, some of the group may be more helpful, and others simply in the way, yelling, or otherwise panicky. (The same could be true if someone yelled fire in a movie theater. If there is no emergency and people freak out, for example. Cool heads may prevail.)

My view is that choices in the situation or someone's personality are factors at this point. Cool under pressure may require training, and you may be taking charge to stay safe, and help manage during chaos. If there is no crisis and others are injured due to panic, you may be surrounded by a group of people that can't control themselves under pressure.
