The scenario

What happens

A fire in a block of flats is spreading rapidly, fanned by the wind. The fire service has issued an evacuation order for several neighbourhoods. Within twenty minutes, thousands of residents need to know which route is safe, where the evacuation centres are and where they can find their families. Unclear communication leads to panic and dangerous situations on the streets. Residents, care homes, schools and the press all need clear and unambiguous information immediately.
