Air-raid alarm: where to go
- Away from windows, now.
- We live on floor : take the stairs, never the lift.
- Go to a room with two walls between you and the street and no windows: usually the hallway or bathroom.
- Better still, if it is close: a cellar or an underground car park.
- Your nearest hiding place: the underground garage in your building.
- Take phone, water, medicines and documents. Wait for the all-clear.
If we get separated
- Family contact
- Contact outside your region
- Meeting point near home
- Meeting point outside the area
Send SMS, not calls. Everyone tells the outside contact where they are.

People under 1 year are not counted: they need milk or formula.
No heat source: the food plan will use no-cook food only.
- No food fits your cooking and allergy answers. Check them, or tick more things that work without power.
- Only a few foods fit, so the list has little variety.
- No bread or grain food fits, so the list is missing a basic filling food.
- This list is heavy and bulky for the energy it gives: lots of canned food.
- The list is low in protein.
- The list is low in fat.
- The list is high in fat.
- Halal and kosher are not checked: read the labels.
