The police service + partners work hard to keep us safe. Incidents are rare yet it pays to know how to act. #RunHideTell + ACT #ActionCountersTerrorism are national campaigns for #safety #security and #preparedness. Today we share their resources for community resilience.
Official evidence-based advice to #staysafe in the rare event of a firearms and weapons attack is #RunHideTell - here is the @TerrorismPolice video with @antmiddleton

When children are given accurate, clear information in accessible, age-appropriate ways, they are highly motivated to help reduce emergency and disaster risks, both at home and in their communities.
Children can contribute to community resilience.

Compassion, kindness, hope are core qualities of the countless professionals and volunteers that sustain the Covid19 effort and other concurrent emergencies. Today on #30days30waysUK we celebrate YOU, the people that are making a positive difference despite hardship every day.
Covid19 has exposed fault lines in our societies. Marginalised communities suffer more than others. Hate speech + discrimination are on the rise. You can speak up on social media, challenge misconceptions and express support for those in need.

Why would anyone need to "flee their home immediately"?
This is another weird stunt, intended to unsettle people -- to use fear and anxiety as political instruments.
