'Go In, Stay In, Tune In' advice is recognised and used around
the world. If you are not involved in the incident, but are close
by or believe you may be in danger, in most cases the advice
is:
- Go inside a safe building
- Stay inside until you are advised to
do otherwise
- Tune in to local radio or TV for more
information
Of course, there are always going to be particular occasions
when you should not "go in" to a building, for example if there is
a fire. Otherwise: Go in, Stay in, Tune in.
