The website aims to enhance public safety by outlining key preparatory steps for potential emergency situations, including terrorist attacks.

Highlighting the importance of readiness, the RCB outlines a three-step approach: "The first is to discuss such threats with family members and cohabitants and prepare a response plan," ensuring families have established communication methods and a reunification strategy in case of separation.

As a second measure, the creation of an ‘evacuation rucksack’ for every household member is advised, equipped with essential items such as a radio, torch, spare batteries, protective masks, and enough food for two days.

Finally, identifying a secure location within homes, schools, or workplaces, ideally internal areas with thick walls and devoid of windows, is recommended for shelter during an incident.
