If you find yourself in emergency situation, things may be confusing but try to remain calm, get the facts and follow instructions.
Do you know when you should call the emergency services on 999? If you’re not sure ask an adult to tell you.
If you don’t have smoke detectors in your home, speak to your parents or carer about getting some. It’s a good idea to have them especially near bedrooms. You’ll need to check them regularly to make sure the batteries are working. It’s also a good idea to have a carbon monoxide detector in the house.
Make sure that you have a complete first aid kit. You can get these from chemists.
If you smell gas, tell your parent or carer. They will need to turn off at the main valve. Open all windows and report the fault.
Medicine and dangerous cleaning products should be locked safely away.
Stay away from potential dangers like open water, electricity pylons and railway lines.
