If ever the case arises that you may be a victim in some unfortunate scenarios,
it’s vital to know what to do in these types of situations.
  • If you are able to evacuate, slowly move away from affected areas.
  • If you are unable to evacuate, inform emergency responders.
  • Do not move unnecessarily as you may aggravate your injuries. Medical
    professionals will stabilise your condition and evacuate you as soon as
    possible.
  • Stay put and protect your head and face from shattered glass or falling
    objects.
  • Move away from unstable objects.
  • Brace yourself against walls without glass windows or mounted shelves.
  • Cover nose and mouth with anything you have in hand as a filter. Avoid
    unnecessary movement, but move fingers and toes occasionally for blood
    circulation.
  • If possible, use a flashlight or whistle to signal to emergency responders.
    If not, tap on a pipe or wall so that rescuers can pinpoint your location.
  • Shout only as a last resort as doing so may weaken yourself, and also cause
    you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust and fumes.
  • If you are not at the affected area, stay away from explosion site.
  • Remain calm and do not call 999 or 995 unless there is an emergency.
  • Tune in to local radio or television for advice and updates.
