It’s normal to worry, and it’s okay not to be okay. More importantly, look after your mental health. Keep your phone handy, as the government will most like use the emergency alert system in the event of an escalation to give us instructions and information. In the meantime, unless you are planning to start a new lifestyle as a prepper, the best advice is probably to make sure you have the means to stay alert. Hopefully danger is very unlikely to reach the UK. I doubt public shelters exist in the UK due to the scale of investment required. They are now mostly demolished and/or inhabitable, certainly not as well equipped as a modern home. You won’t find places to shelter on this page, as all these locations haven’t been used as shelters for decades.

I’m guessing that people are trying to find what to do in the event of an emergency. I wanted to write a note to all of you who are scared, to acknowledge that and to give you a virtual hug. Almost 2,000 of you have landed on this page in the last week searching for things like ‘bomb shelter near me’ and ‘air raid shelter near me’.
