09 February 2012The Preparing for Emergencies website provides online advice covering:
The Government issues warnings and advice to the public about major emergencies and this information is accessed through the UK Resilience homepage that contains information on a range of emergency issues.
Go in stay in tune in
You should follow the instruction of the authorities if you are advised to evacuate your home. If your house is on fire, the advice is to get out, stay out and call the Fire and Rescue Service. For fire safety advice see Kent Fire & Rescue Service.
In most emergencies, the best advice is to go in, stay in and tune in™. A battery or wind-up powered radio is ideal in case the mains electricity fails. Tune in to your local radio station.
The Government has also produced some 'Dealing with Emergencies' web pages that are on the Directgov website.
