First aid kit: Since emergency responders are not likely to be available immediately, you should prepare in advance with a first-aid kit that includes sterile gauze and bandages, antibiotic ointment, scissors, tweezers, a thermometer and a blanket.

Good question: This was part of lectures I watched for a conference. If you are the care giver, treat the patient first and stabilize, then move out of the area to a hospital. Let the hospital personnel know that the person was exposed to high dose of radiation. They will take it from there.
