Safety Guidelines
Medical Safety
Stay calm and assess the situation. Call emergency medical services immediately, provide basic first aid if you are trained, and avoid moving injured persons unless they are in immediate danger. Keep emergency contact numbers readily available and follow healthcare professionals.
Fire Safety
Stay calm and evacuate immediately using the nearest safe exit. Do not use elevators during a fire. Call the fire department, alert others nearby, and only use a fire extinguisher if the fire is small and it is safe to do so. Never re-enter the building until authorities declare it safe.
flood safety
Move to higher ground immediately and avoid walking or driving through floodwaters. Stay updated with official weather alerts, keep an emergency kit ready, and switch off electricity if it is safe to do so. Follow evacuation instructions and return home only after authorities declare the area safe.
Earthquake Safety
Stay calm and Drop, Cover, and Hold On during an earthquake. Stay away from windows, heavy furniture, and objects that may fall. If you are outdoors, move to an open area away from buildings and power lines. After the shaking stops, check for injuries, avoid damaged structures, and follow official emergency instructions.
Road Safety
Road safety means following traffic rules and practicing responsible behavior to prevent accidents and protect lives. Always wear a helmet or seatbelt, obey speed limits, avoid using mobile phones while driving, and never drive under the influence of alcohol. Safe driving habits help ensure a safer journey for everyone on the road.
Electrical Safety
Rain increases the risk of electrical shocks and short circuits. Keep electrical appliances and outlets dry, avoid touching switches with wet hands, and never use damaged wires or extension cords.
