Being Healthy and Safe
Street safety
Stick to well-lit and populated areas, especially when walking alone or at night.
Avoid displaying valuable items such as smartphones or jewelry openly to reduce the risk of theft.
Be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts – if you feel unsafe, move to a more secure location and consider seeking help from passersby or contacting emergency services.
Road safety
Always use designated pedestrian crossings when crossing roads, and wait for the green pedestrian signal before crossing.
Be cautious of traffic and look both ways before crossing, even on one-way streets.
Walk facing oncoming traffic if there are no sidewalks available, and wear bright or reflective clothing to increase visibility, especially at night.
Personal safety
Trust your instincts and avoid situations or individuals that make you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
Stay connected with friends or family members when out and about, and let them know your plans and expected return time.
Carry a charged mobile phone with emergency contacts saved and consider downloading personal safety apps that allow you to quickly alert authorities or loved ones in case of emergency.
In an emergency
Memorize emergency contact numbers such as the police (999 or 112) and keep a list of important contacts handy.
Know the location of nearby police stations, hospitals, and other emergency services in your area.
If you feel threatened or witness a crime, don't hesitate to call emergency services immediately and provide as much detail as possible about the situation.
