Guidance for evacuees

 

If the Police ask you to leave your home, please co-operate - your safety is their responsibility.

  • They will only ask you to leave if it is essential for your own safety.
  • They will probably ask you to go to a reception centre.
  • If you decide to go anywhere else, for example to relatives, let someone know so you can be accounted for.
  • Don't worry if you are sick, frail or disabled - special arrangements will be made for you.
  • f you have elderly or disabled neighbours, check that they are alright or inform the emergency services that they require assistance.
  • If there is time, take along any medicines, warm clothes, any special foods and personal documents.
  • Before you leave, make sure fires are out, switch off gas and electricity and lock up.
