What to do in an emergency
Go in, stay in and tune in
In a major emergency, if you are not involved in the incident, but are close by or believe you may be in danger, the best advice is to go inside a safe building, stay inside until you are advised to do otherwise, and tune in to local radio, TV or social media for information.
Of course, there are always going to be particular occasions when you should not 'go in', for example, if there is a fire, or you are advised differently by the emergency services or your own common sense.
