What to do in case of emergency
If you find yourself in an emergency situation:
- make sure 999 is called if people are injured or there's a threat to life
- don't put yourself or others in danger
- follow the advice of the emergency services
- try to remain calm, think before acting and try to reassure others
- check for injuries, remember to help yourself before attempting to help others
If you're not involved in the incident, but are close by or believe you may be in danger:
- go inside a safe building
- stay inside until you're advised to do otherwise
- tune in to local radio or TV for more public safety advice and information
