Surviving a terror attack
Anyone involved or close to a terror incident is advised to exercise heightened security awareness and to follow the directives of local authorities. Here are a few safety first tips:

Stay within the confines of your residence or accommodation
Do not go out into the public streets
Be alert to local news developments
Adhere to any imposed curfews or security restrictions
Be aware of conspicuous or unusual behaviour. Unusual behaviour and strange devices should be reported to the police or security personnel promptly
Gunfire doesn’t sound like it does in the movies, it’s more like a popping sound, which is why so many people say they thought the gunfire was a car backfire or fireworks. Don’t ignore that sound.

Establishas quickly as possible where the sound is coming from, and make a decision on whether you need to act (run, hide)

If you are in a building located close to the site of a terrorist attack, stay away from the windows
If in the vicinity of an attack, do not stay to watch what is happening, as you will only get in the way of the emergency services. There is also a risk that additional attacks may occur.

If there’s a bomb blast
Leave the area as soon as possible
Do not run you may be suspected as the bomber. If you are in a crowd stay at the fringes.

Stay clear of glass shop fronts.
If you are injured attend to yourself before others.

Obey all instructions and orders that are given by local police.

Make your way to a pre planned secure area.
If you return to your hotel stay away from the windows.

Listen to television and radio reports.
Contact family or friends and let them know your situation.

Write down what you saw before and after the blast it may help the authorities in their investigation.

If you’re injured in a terror attack
If you are injured or become ill please seek medical aid and contact your 24-hour Medical Assistance Service.

Be aware that any functioning hospitals and clinics will be busy caring for large numbers of people who have been injured in the incident.

Preparing for potential terrorism
Before visiting any place where there is a risk of terrorism, bandit attacks, you should first obtain as much information on that country as possible.

When you arrive, stay away from those areas that may have been the target of terrorism in the past.

Make yourself aware of your surroundings. Be aware of the conduct of people near to you. If they are acting suspicious, alert the local authorities
Check out all the exits from your location.

Walking through a shopping mall, look for the green exit signs. Restaurants always have an exit out the back in the kitchen area, it may be closer and safer than the front door.

Stay away from large gatherings or demonstrations
Call the police

If you are with friends identify a rendezvous point to meet should there be an incident
Prepare a plan to evacuate should there be an incident.

Know the telephone numbers of local transport and hire car companies.
