In an emergency
Always put the safety of yourself and your family first. Dial 999 if you are or somebody else is in immediate danger and need rescuing. With most major incidents the safest place to be is inside, where you should stay for as long as necessary. Listen to local radio to find out what is going on, as they will have the latest, most accurate information available from us. They will also broadcast any helpline or emergency numbers we have set up.
If a major incident happens:
- GO inside
- STAY inside
- TUNE IN to local radio
In case of a fire in a building you are in:
- Get OUT
- Stay OUT
- Get the fire brigade OUT. Dial 999
In case of firearms or weapons attacks:
Stay Safe
RUN to a place of safety…
HIDE if there's nowhere to go…
TELL West Mercia Police by calling 999.
