Explosion / explosion risk

What to do

  1. Explosion or threat: move away from the building. Call from safety.
  2. Do not enter debris. Report where injured people were seen and follow responders.
  3. Child/person needing assistance: accompany only along safe exit, no re-entry. Unable to escape: give exact location/mobility to rescue. No improvised rope/unsafe stair carrying.
  4. After explosion: breathlessness, chest pain, confusion, bleeding or burn: medical emergency. Report exposure even without visible wound. Without new danger, do not move injured person except lifesaving care.

What to avoid

  1. Do not re-enter. Under debris, shout only as a last resort to limit dust inhalation.
