Release of gas, toxic chemical or radiation

Go in, stay in, tune in

If there is an incident, go indoors unless you are asked to leave by the emergency services. With some toxic fumes things will look normal and you will not see, smell or feel anything different. You should

  • close all doors, windows and vents
  • put out all naked flames such as pilot lights
  • switch off gas supplies
  • put away or cover all fresh food
  • have emergency provisions ready
  • use the phone only if you need to - keep the line free for emergency use
  • stay indoors until you know more about what is going on and what you need to do to protect yourself
  • tune in to a local radio or TV station.

If you think you may have become contaminated, please contact the emergency services for help on

999.
