The trick is to remember the mnemonic ETHANE. This stands for:
* Exact Location - The precise location of the incident
* Type - The nature of the incident, including how many vehicles, buildings etc. are involved
* Hazards - Both present and potential
* Access - Best route for emergency services to access the site, or obstructions and bottlenecks to avoid
* Numbers - Numbers of Casualties, Dead and Uninjured on scene
* Emergency Services - Which services are already on scene, and which others are required
The unified emergency number to call in Malaysia is 999
