Plan Ahead:
Make sure your house number or house
name are clearly visible from the road. Take some time to map and write
out precise directions to your property. Stick the directions to the
cover of your phone book, notice board or phone pad and don't forget to
tell the rest of your family what you have done and why it was done.
Remember the last time you had to give directions over the phone to
anyone, well try giving directions in an emergency when
you're under pressure, shocked, or injured. So you see it makes sense to plan ahead.
Remember
!
The Emergency Services are there to help
you. So don't fool around making "Bogus
Calls"
"The time you waste, maybe the time
you need to survive. Think about it ?......."
