FAQs
What should I do if there is a Civil Defence emergency? When disaster occurs, follow these simple rules:
1. Listen and remain tuned to the nearest operating radio station serving your community. Carry out any instructions given. You will need a transistor radio if the power is off.
2. Do not use your telephone for anything less than saving lives, otherwise the telephone exchanges will be overloaded and emergency services will be affected.
3. Talk to your neighbours to see if you can help each other.
4. Don't go sightseeing - you will hinder essential work or traffic, and endanger yourself.
5. If you have to go outside, wear warm clothes and good footwear.Advice about what to do in various types of emergencies is available on our Civil Defence pages or look on the back cover of your telephone book. Get Ready Get Thru (PDF, 42KB) Related FAQsWhat do I need in my survival kit?
