EVENT OF EMERGENCY
PEOPLE TO REMAIN INDOORS. (P.A.) WELLIINGTON, March 4. “I cannot emphasise too strongly the importance of people remaining indoors or even if they happen to be in the street, of seeking shelter in the event of an attack, or when the warning siren sounds,’ said the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser) in a further statement on the procedure which should be followed in an emergency. ‘“Only when instructions are given by- the E.P.S. authorities should people leave their factories, workshops, offices, shops, and other places of business or their homes, and then they should proceed only along routes they are directed to take. “The dispersal trials which have been arranged are for the purpose of instructing the people where to go if and when a dispersal should be ordered, and should not be regarded as the procedure to be adopted immediately on the sounding of the warning siren.”
