If you're looking after a child or an elder
- Stay where you are
Your mobile network can see this phone is in use. If you move, you're harder to find. - Reply HERE to the government's emergency message
That's the message from the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). Replying shows an adult is with the child or elder, so they aren't counted as alone. - Say who's with you
Reply WITH, then their name and age. Their family is told where they are, and someone checks in.
If a message asks whether you can go to someone
- Reply 1 if you can be there within two hours
Everyone else who was asked sees that someone is going, so nobody goes twice. - Reply 2 if you can't
The message goes to the next nearest person who knows them. - Reply 3 if the child is already with an adult
So nobody walks to an empty flat, or takes a child from someone looking after them. - Reply HAVE HER or HAVE HIM when you're with them
Your reply and your phone at the address start a record that you're looking after the child. The family confirms it on a video call.

First aid, saved on this page
Dehydration in a child under five
Signs: no tears, dry mouth, sunken eyes, fewer than three wet nappies a day, drowsy. Give oral rehydration solution: one litre of safe water, six level teaspoons of sugar, half a level teaspoon of salt. Small sips every few minutes. If the child cannot drink or is limp, go to the nearest care point now.
Insulin without a fridge
Unopened insulin keeps for about four weeks below 25 °C. Keep it in a clay pot with water, or wrapped in a damp cloth in shade, and never freeze it. Don't stop or change your dose without advice. If you are running short, get to a chemist or care point today.
Making water safe
If it is cloudy, let it settle and pour through a clean cloth. Boil for one minute at a rolling boil, or add household bleach (unscented, 5%): two drops per litre, wait 30 minutes. Store covered.
CPR, adult
Check response, call 112, place the heel of your hand on the centre of the chest, push hard and fast 100–120 a minute, 5 cm deep, let the chest rise fully. Keep going until help arrives or the person breathes.
Moving a bedridden adult
Do not move alone if you can avoid it. Log-roll onto a blanket, two people lift at the hips and shoulders, keep the head supported. Bring medicines, the ABHA number and any oxygen with the person.
