Emergencies will usually catch us unawares. If you are not involved in the incident, but are close by or believe you may be in danger, in most cases the advice is:
Danger outside: Stay indoors, tune in
Close all windows and doors, stay inside until you are contacted by the emergency services or a representative.
Danger inside: get out, stay out
Try to secure your home before you leave and make your way to a safe location.
Tune in
Tune into local radio or TV for more information.
