Use when someone has asthma, ran out of an inhaler, can't afford one, uses their rescue inhaler a lot, or needs a doctor, an asthma plan or help keeping an inhaler safe without a home.
These are the same steps our staff use when they help someone. "They" means the person who needs help: you, or someone you are helping. Go in order, and call ahead when you can.
