Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101, 108 and 100 in your phone. Share them with elders and with children old enough to use a phone.
If you run a cracker shop, keep to the licensed stock limit, never sleep or cook in the same room as the stock, and switch off the main supply at night. Keep sand and water ready near the door.
On Diwali night, light crackers in an open space well away from shops, godowns and parked vehicles, never on the road in front of a market, and keep a bucket of water ready.

When a siren sounds near the Jawai dam, stay away from the river bank and from any causeway. Never drive or walk through water flowing over a road.
On roads around Sumerpur and Bali, do not overload a tractor-trolley with people, keep reflectors on it at night, and never overtake on a blind bend. If you reach a crash, call 108 or 112 and keep the road clear for the ambulance.
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.
