"DO NOT HANG-UP UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO"

Make sure your house number and House name are clearly visible from the road. Take some time to map and write out precise directions to your property. Remember to use known landmarks for ease of reference. 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 the television repair man. Well, try giving directions in an emergency when you are under pressure, shocked, or injured.

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. "
