10 Election Safety Tips by yungmarshall(m): 5:57pm On Mar 26, 2015
1.Food
Stock up your house with food and water (at
least 1 week’s supply) in case Markets &
stores are not open longer than the weekend
and you can’t go out. Prioritize non-
perishable food like those stored in cans
over fresh food that takes time to cook and
requires freezing (in case the power in your
area is cut off). Don’t forget about cooking
gas!

2.Fuel
In some parts of Lagos there is a panic
scarcity of fuel so try and buy enough fuel for
your generator in case there's no electricity.
Also make sure there’s a full-tank of fuel in
all of your vehicles. Please Note – This is
not an instruction to buy fuel in kegs and
keep in your house as this measure can be
very dangerous. Do not over stock fuel o!!

3.cash
Make sure you withdraw enough cash to
avoid going out to use the ATM in case of an
emergency.

4.Rallies
For the next few days please stay away from
Political Rallies, Avoid engaging in group
political discussions with strangers and
avoid protests as much as possible. If you
must attend any of the above mentioned
gatherings, then be very vigilant. Wait till you
get to safety before updating your Social
Media.

5.Equipments and Necessities
Ensure you have working equipments such
as flash lights, batteries, candles, medical
supplies (e.g. First Aid Boxes), recharge
cards (or add sufficient credit to your phone),
etc.

6.Home
In the case of civil unrest, keep yourself and
your family members indoors at all times and
keep your homes on locked down. Ensure
that all windows and doors are secure.

7.Vehicles
Park your vehicles in secure areas, preferably
within the walls of your compound and well
away from the main roads. If you do not have
space in your compound, make
arrangements to park them somewhere safe.

8.Contacts
Go out of your way to get the telephone
numbers of relevant security and safety
agencies in your state. Remember your State
Emergency Numbers and the numbers for the
Medical Emergency Services and Fire
Services. Notify them in the event of any
emergency.

9.Movements
Know at least two different routes to your
house. You can easily confirm the safety of
routes via on twitter handles such as
@TrafficChiefNG and @Gidi_Traffic before
departing. I suggest you spend the entire
Saturday at home with your family and do
not make other plans after the election.

10.Family
Make sure all your family members
(especially those living with you) know the
numbers to call in case of any emergency.
Discuss with them about what to do in case
of an emergency or in case you get separated
for any reason.
