Preparing for evacuation
In certain unlikely situations you may be asked to leave your home by the emergency services. If this happens, leave as quickly and calmly as possible. If you have time -
- grab your ‘Go bag’ and check contents
- turn off electricity, gas and water supplies
- take your mobile phone and charger
- take some spare clothes
- unplug appliances
- take with you any prescribed medication
- take cash and credit cards
- lock all doors and windows
- if you leave by car, take bottled water, a duvet or blankets
- tune into your local radio for emergency advice and instructions
