What should a Flight Attendant do in the event of a cabin decompression?

In the event of cabin decompression, the appropriate action for a Flight Attendant is to instruct passengers to use the oxygen masks. This response is critical because during decompression, the cabin can lose pressure, leading to a drop in oxygen levels. The use of oxygen masks ensures that passengers receive enough oxygen to maintain consciousness and prevent hypoxia, which can occur rapidly in such scenarios.

It is also a Flight Attendant's responsibility to ensure that passengers understand how to properly use the masks, as quick and effective communication can save lives in an emergency situation. Once the masks are deployed, the Flight Attendant should monitor passenger compliance and any additional needs while remaining aware of the overall cabin situation. This focus on passenger safety is paramount during a decompression event, making the instruction to use oxygen masks a critical step in emergency procedures.
