Stay safe during a terrorist attack: Run, hide, tell
24th May 2017
In response to the recent events in Manchester, we want to reinforce and emphasise the importance of vigilance and of reporting any concerns to the anti-terrorist hotline. The current UK threat level for international terrorism is: CRITICAL. This means that a terrorist attack is expected imminently.
If you see or hear anything that could be terrorist-related trust your instincts and call the anti-terrorist hotline on 0800 789 321.
What to do in the event of a terrorist attack
Firearms and weapons attacks are very rare, however having a plan and being conscious of your surroundings when out and about will help you to stay safe and could save your life.
The National Police Chief's Council have produced guidelines to follow if you find yourself in a terrorist situation.
There are three key steps to keeping safe during an attack:
RUN
- If there is a safe route, run.
- Insist others go with you.
- Don't let them slow you down.
- Leave your belongings behind.
HIDE
- If you can't run, hide.
- Find cover from gunfire.
- Lock the door and barricade yourself in.
- Move away from the door.
- Be very quiet and silence your phone.
TELL
- Dial 999 when you are safe.
- Give your location.
- Give the direction the attacker is moving in.
- Give as much information as you can.
- Can you safely stop others from entering the area?
