Active attack and civil emergency safety: what to do
In an attack or civil emergency, the first moves are to get away from danger and alert emergency services.
What to do
- Run if there is a safe way out. Hide if you cannot. Fight only as a last resort.
- Silence your phone and call emergency services when it is safe.
- Follow police instructions and do not share unverified information.
