General advice and guidance

During an emergency, we and other organisations will strive to support all members of our community.  However, there are actions you can take to help keep yourself and your family safe until help arrives.

What should you do in an emergency?

• Keep calm
• Reassure others
• Think before acting
• Help yourself before helping others
• Check for injuries
• If people are injured or in danger dial 999 and report the situation, and follow the advice you're given
• Stay informed via local radio and TV
