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
