4. LIE DOWN
If bombs start to fall near you, lie down. You will feel the
blast least that way, escape fragments or splinters. oe .
The safest place is under a good stout table—the stronger the
legs the better. ~ ; det sie

A mattress under a table combines comfort with safety.

- The enemy may use explosive bombs or incendiary bombs, or
both. If incendiaries are used, it’s more important to deal with
them than to be safe from blast. So defeat the incendiary witha
spray (never a splash or stream) of water, then go back to safety
under a table in a refuge room. i

Most raids will likely be over in your immediate neigh-
borhood in a short time. However, stay under cover till the
“all clear” is sounded. :

Know your raid alarms. Know the “all clear’. Official news
of these will come to you from your Air Raid Warden. Dont
believe rumors. Watch this paper for air raid alarm description.
Ask the warden when he comes.

Should your house be hit, keep cool. Answer tappings from
rescue crews if you are trapped. (You most likely won’t ve
either hit or trapped, but if you are, you can depend on rescue
squads to go after you). Again—keep cool, and wait. Donec
-yell after you hear them coming to you, unless they tell you to.
Keep cool!

Just keeping cool hurts the enemy more than anything else
you can do. Keep calm. Stay at home. Put out lights.
Lie down. =
