Emergency evacuation

 
If the Police ask you to leave your home, please leave as quickly as possible and don't argue. 

You will only be asked to leave it is essential for your safety.

Where will we be taken?

The police will probably take you to a reception centre. If you decide to go anywhere else - for example to relatives - let someone know so you can be accounted for.

Special requirements

Special arrangements will be made for those with additional needs. If you have elderly or disabled neighbours, tell the emergency services that they might want help.

Before you leave your home 

Make sure fires are out, switch off gas and electricity and lock up.

If there is time, collect together:

  • any medicines you need
  • warm clothes
  • any special foods
  • personal documents
  • immediate valuables
  • baskets and leads for pets.
