Chemical, biological and radiation threats
Get inside and seal it first.
- If there is a leak, go inside. If you must leave, move away from the source at right angles to the wind.
- Close and seal windows, doors and vents, switch off air conditioning and gas and put out flames.
- Do not shelter in the cellar: heavy gases collect low down.
- Eat only packaged food and drink bottled water. Nothing fresh from outside.
- Go out only if necessary: respirator, tight goggles, raincoat and gloves. Take them off before coming back in and wash.
- Take iodine tablets only when the authorities tell you to.
- FFP2 or FFP3 respirators protect against dust, smoke and viruses, not chemical gases.
- During an infection outbreak, avoid people, disinfect your hands and watch your health.
