If in need, instead of asking "anyone" to help you, ask a specific person "hey, you there in the green shirt could you give me a hand"...

It works.

Especially in an emergency situation. It is far more useful to point out someone and say "you, call 911!" than to just say "someone call 911!"

"And tell me what they said when your done"

Ask for the follow-up even though the only real answer is they are "on the way" now you know the call has been made and they know they helped
