Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101 and 108 in your phone. For a fire, call 101 or 112 and give the nearest landmark.
Near bamboo, timber or scrap stacks, keep naked flames and loose wiring away, and keep a clear lane so a fire tender can reach the stack.
Switch off the main supply at night if wiring sparks or smells hot, and keep a window or door you can open from inside, because smoke kills before flames do.

Do not sleep with a faulty air conditioner or gas appliance running. If the room fills with a strange smell or smoke, get everyone out first and then call 112.
If you live or farm along the Tungabhadra, follow district alerts about dam releases, move livestock and valuables early, and never cross a flooded causeway.
Cool the burn under cool, clean running water for 20 minutes. Even 10 minutes helps if that's all you can manage. No ice, toothpaste, oil or butter.
