Go In, Stay In, Tune In

In an emergency, the authorities dealing with the emergency will broadcast safety information on local radio.

 

Local radio stations covering the Poole and Bournemouth area include:

 

2CR FM    -   102.3 MHz FM

BBC RADIO SOLENT  -  103.8 MHz FM

WAVE 105 FM  -  105.2 and 105.8 MHz FM

 

If there is an emergency incident at your children's school and they need to evacuate, listen to your local radio for announcements and information.

 

On the web, the Bournemouth Echo http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/

and BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/) will also provide information in an emergency incident.

 

Try to remain calm and in control, keep your family together wherever possible and try to focus on practical things you can do.  If possible, take it in turns for adults to listen to/watch the media to prevent unecessary distress and anxiety.
