About Next Five Minutes Foundation
Most emergencies don't start with a warning.
​
A strange smell.
A sudden impact.
A moment of confusion.
​
Within seconds, an ordinary situation can become something very different.
​
In those moments, before sirens arrive and before professional responders take control, someone has to decide what to do next.
​
These decisions often happen within the next five minutes.
The Next Five Minutes Foundation exists to help people understand and prepare for those critical moments.
​
​

​
When something unexpected happens, students look to the driver for guidance. A calm and confident response can prevent panic and help keep everyone safer until help arrives.
