If
a visitor (or staff, for that matter) has a medical emergency CALL 911, but
give accurate location (building number).
Will furnish a wallet card to all.

Close
down the EC-121 if inside temperature reaches 90 deg. F. Be aware of lightning
in the area and have visitors get inside a building (or stay in the 121).
· Be careful with the main door and the over-wing hatches on the EC-121 and get help from Museum staff if necessary (to avoid damage).
