There are five basic types of emergencies that every hunter should know about, these types are as follows:
1- victim not breathing or is unconscious: You can make sure that the victim is unconscious by simply shouting at him. If he's unconscious or not breathing, he won't reply. In this case, the hunter has to check that the airway passage is completely clear and there are no obstructions in it. After that, the hunter has to check if the victim started breathing or not. If not, then CPR is required. A last step is for the hunter to check the victim's pulse.
2- victim with burns: first thing is to check the type of burn. If it is first degree burn (burn that is on the surface of the skin), then it can be treated by cold water and aspirin. If the burn is from the second degree (blister is more serious and the burn is deeper under the skin). then it should be treated by covering it with a sterile and dry bandage without applying any pressure. If the burn is third degree (very deep into the skin and is into the flesh) should be covered with a sterile and dry bandage until qualified medical help is provided.
3- victim bleeding: The bleeding must be stopped as soon as possible and must be covered to prevent infection.
4- victim with break or sprain: it is difficult to know the difference between fracture and a break, therefore, the best scenario is to use sticks or splint boards to keep the fracture or the bone from moving.
5- victim in shock: shock can slow down the heart and might lead to death. The best treatment for shock is to make sure that the victim is comfortable, secured and dry.<span />

Explanation:
The dictionary definition of a "risk" is that someone or something of value is exposed to danger, harm, or loss (<em>Oxford Living Dictionaries)</em>.
Having said that, we should also note that without risk, there often is little or no reward. Sometimes taking a risk is necessary in order to achieve a gain. If I hide all my money under my mattress to avoid the risks associated with investing money in banks or the stock market, I don't gain any interest or growth on my dollars. If I won't get in a car or on an airplane because of the risks associated with automobile travel or air travel, I isolate myself and don't get to visit people and places beyond my immediate neighborhood.
Risk assessment and risk management will mean that we will assess the real risks of situations and activities, and balance those against potential rewards. We will take appropriate precautions and safeguards before taking a risk. For instance, if a child wants to learn how to ride a bike (which will bring the rewards of a fun and healthy activity), parents will make sure the child wears a helmet and possibly knee and elbow pads. They will start with training wheels or by going alongside to guide the bike before having the child attempt riding fully on their own.
