Britain to Issue Terror Information Kits

Sunday July 25, 2004 2:46 PM


LONDON (AP) - Britain's top law enforcement official said Sunday he is preparing to issue a booklet with advice on what to do in case of a terrorist attack or a civil emergency.

Home Secretary David Blunkett said the pamphlet was inspired by information kits issued by the Australian government last year.

He said Britons should be ``alert but not alarmed'' about the threat from terrorism.

``I spent from Sept. 11 a lot of political energy and political clout persuading people not to over-hype what was going on,'' Blunkett told British Broadcasting Corp. TV.

``Not because the threat isn't real ... but because we need to go about our daily lives. We need to keep our economy and our social life going and if people were over-frightened they would change their behavior.''

Blunkett said the pamphlet contains information on first aid and advises on what supplies Britons should have on hand in case of an emergency. The BBC said the booklets would be issued starting this week.
