宅在倫敦的Waki

昨天倫敦西敏區發生了攻擊事件.今天首相Theresa May也在下議院報告,目前知道的是,嫌疑人是英國出生,獨自犯案,但先前並不在觀察名單上.

"Mr Speaker, it is still believed that this attacker acted alone, and the police have no reason to believe there are imminent further attacks on the public."

"What I can confirm is that the man was British-born and that - some years ago - he was once investigated in relation to concerns about violent extremism. He was a peripheral figure."

"The case is historic - he was not part of the current intelligence picture."

"And, as Acting Deputy Commissioner Rowley confirmed last night, our working assumption is that the attacker was inspired by Islamist ideology."

傷者方面也是遍及各國.畢竟西敏區,白金漢宮一帶本來就是遊客聚集地.

"In addition to 12 Britons admitted to hospital, we know that the victims include three French children, two Romanians, four South Koreans, one German, one Pole, one Irish, one Chinese, one Italian, one American and two Greeks."

安全方面,現在是第二高危機等級("severe"),表示攻擊的可能性很高.再上一級就是立即有危險.

"The threat level to the UK has been set at 'severe' - meaning an attack is highly likely - for some time."

"This is the second highest threat level. The highest level - 'critical' - means there is specific intelligence that an attack is imminent."

至於其他線索方面,租車行"Enterprise Rent-A-Car"確認做案車輛是跟他們租的,然後警方也漏夜逮捕了八人.

23號(週四)金融市場來說,FTSE小漲,接近平盤;英鎊維持衝破對1英鎊兌1.25美金左右,今天公布的零售銷售高過預期(實際漲1.4%,預期漲0.4%)多少有點支撐.

講了這一串,好像文不對題.在看新聞的過程中,無意間發現以下這些資訊.不管是生活或旅遊途中當然最好永遠都不要用到,但多方準備不會錯的.

1. 999報案電話大家都知道了,但如果在不方便講話的情況下呢?還是可以打的.

一打進去,專員會先詢問需要什麼幫助,大分類為:救護車 (Ambulance),海岸巡防救助 (Coastguard),救火(Fire Rescue),警察 (Police)

如果沒有講話,專員會請打去的人發聲,咳嗽一下,或是敲敲螢幕,如果要維持完全安靜的話呢?請按"55"

重點就是,單純不發聲警察有機會不處理.而按"55"會連上所謂Silent Solutions,確保不出聲的電話不會掛斷.

2. 如果收訊很差怎麼辦?打電話有困難呢?

傳簡訊到999! 內容包括Which? What? Where?

which: 需要救護車 (Ambulance),海岸巡防救助 (Coastguard),救火(Fire Rescue),還是警察 (Police)

what: 簡述發生什麼事情

where: 地點越詳細越好

Emergency SMS網站上給的例子是: 'ambulance. man having a heart attack. outside post office. valley road watford'

這裡包含了: which: 救護車; what: 心臟病患者 where: Watford區,Valley路,郵局外.

傳出可能要等兩三分鐘才回覆,或是等很久,所以沒有盡快獲得回應的話要嘗試其他方法!

要注意的是,得先登錄才可以使用,登陸方法是:

a. 從手機傳"register"到999

b. 收到回覆後回傳"YES"

c. 確認登錄成功

如果正好人在英國,留學工作旅遊或生活,有空登錄一下吧.
