This is from the CitizenAID pocket guide and has also been the official advice: run, hide, tell. But as we have seen in recent days, people caught up in attacks are also motivated to help others, including strangers.

Given the events of the last few days I think it's worth the reminder that rail staff (Northern) also acted with true professionalism in response to the Manchester Arena attack too.

'Panic'?
It's important to look at what passengers actually did. Not just flight, but also information and assistance:
'Amid a group of six, they were also attempting to stem the flow of blood from the head of the older man who was said to have saved the girl.'

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Pushing more responsibility for disaster response onto the states will mean depending more on private contractors.

I visited the museum two weeks ago. The whole place was dark, tired, and uninspiring.
And to realise it was an actual body on display…I don’t know what to say.
