Answer:

1.Hypothermia: If the person is unconscious, check their breathing. If the person does not breathe, perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, for 30 compressions - 2 ventilations.

Protect the person from the cold. Transport it to a place with hot temperature and cover it with blankets. If it is not possible, it must be kept away from the wind, the cold and the ground. Cover the head and neck.

Remove wet clothes from dry clothes. If you are out in the open, you shouldn't take your clothes off, it's time to try to heat them so that the clothes that are wet get cold.

2.Freezing: Check if you have hypothermia.

Protect the skin to prevent further damage.

If the person is outside, warm the frozen hands by placing them on the armpits. Protect the face, nose and ears with dry, gloved hands.

Get away from the cold.

Gently reheat frozen areas.

Get away from the snake's radius.
