Evacuation advice
Do you know what to do if evacuated?
If the emergency services ask you to leave your home or business:
- co-operate with the instructions and act immediately
- the main priority is your safety
- you may be asked to go to a reception centre
- if you decide to go elsewhere, such as friends or relatives, please let someone know so that you can be accounted for
- tell the emergency services if you have elderly or disabled neighbours who may need help
- if you have time, take your medicines; warm clothes; any special foods; personal documents; immediate valuables; and any lead and basket for your pet
- make sure you turn off any gas and electricity before you lock up
