Evacuation checklist:
Gather family and pets together
Turn off gas, water, electricity and all household appliances
If you have time, make sure open fires are put out, or at least guarded
Get together warm clothing and sleeping bags, blankets or duvets
Get together medicines in use and special foods for babies - and remember food for pets!
Secure and lock your property
Do not return home until you are told to do so
On your return, do not use gas or other appliances unless you know it is safe to do so
