Danger with unknown cause

What to do

  1. Check danger to yourself before approaching. Do not enter smoke, gas, dangerous water or traffic.
  2. For danger now, request emergency help without waiting to know the cause. Say what you see and where you are.
  3. From safety, warn others to keep away. Report visible smoke, smell, cables, collapse or fallen people.
  4. Do not re-enter to check whether danger has passed. Wait for specialist confirmation of safety.
  5. No phone or connection: ask someone nearby to call from safety. Give location and what is happening. Do not wait for an automatic app alert.

What to avoid

  1. Do not investigate up close or attempt repairs to discover the cause.
