1. React immediately
– As soon as you perceive danger (unusual noises, shouting, gunshots, explosion), react immediately.
– Never stay still or exposed unnecessarily.
2. Take your Evakit bag
– Your Evakit bag contains your essential documents (identity papers, insurance, title deeds), warm clothing, drinking water and food rations.
– Keep it constantly accessible for rapid evacuation.
3. Seek shelter immediately
– Immediately find a solid shelter nearby: thick walls, sturdy vehicles or sturdy buildings.
– Avoid windows, open spaces or areas exposed to gunfire or explosions.
4. Evacuate quickly and discreetly
– As soon as it’s safe, move quickly but discreetly to a secure area indicated by the authorities or identified by you beforehand.
– Avoid sudden movements that could attract attention.
5. Never attempt to intervene directly
– Do not attempt to resist, confront or disarm an assailant.
– Your priority must be to ensure the safety of you and your family by moving quickly away from danger.
6. Inform emergency services as soon as possible
– As soon as you are safe, call 112 or your local emergency number.
– Give precise details of your location and provide all relevant information about the situation you have observed.
7. Stay informed at all times
– Use your Evakit hand-cranked FM radio to listen to official instructions from local authorities.
– Strictly comply with all official instructions.
8. Regroup in a safe place
– Head to your family gathering point to confirm that everyone is safe.
– Don’t leave until the situation has been declared safe by the authorities.
Common mistakes to avoid
