FIRST Ensure that YOU are safe.
Second Ensure that others are not endangered.

If they are unconsious, a 'yes' answer is implied, and the Good Samaritan laws will protect you.
If they are not breathing, lay them on their back and initiate the CPR procedures, if you have been trained. Once you begin CPR, you CANNOT stop until medics arrive, so GET HELP FROM A PASSERBY.
Of course, if it's a non-life-threatening emergency, be sure to tell the operator the nature of the emergency.
