Survivor Reception Centre exercise provides valuable learning
Training exercise helps strengthen emergency response plans for those affected by a major incident in their area.
An emergency can have serious consequences, threatening lives and property. You can help protect yourself and your family by being prepared if the unexpected happens. This will ensure emergency responders are free to look after those who most need their help.
If you are not involved in the emergency but are close by, or think you are at risk, go inside. Close all doors and windows, stay in your home, school or work place and listen to local radio and TV stations for updates until you are told it is safe to leave.
Secure your property before you leave and don’t return home until you are told it is safe to do so. Always follow instructions from the Emergency Services.
Prepare an emergency pack of essential items. This should include anything you might need if you have to leave your home at short notice.
