If you can't find any emergency vet in your area then you should just monitor him closely, the main thing to watch is the breathing and respiration rate (should not be over 35 breaths per minute), if he seems fine that is already a miracle, you will still need to take him to the vet once it opens to make sure there are no fractures or internal injuries.
