Keeping Your Calm and Staying Safe During Civil Unrest: Brinant Group's Guide

Election season is upon us, and with it comes passionate debates and heightened emotions. While peaceful protests are a cornerstone of a healthy democracy, situations can sometimes turn volatile. At Brinant Group, your well-being is our priority. That's why we've compiled this guide to help you navigate civil unrest and keep yourself and your loved ones safe.


Stay Alert and Informed:


  • Be Aware of Your Surroundings: Avoid large crowds and heated discussions. If things escalate, take cover in a safe location or calmly move away from the area. Refrain from filming or standing watch, as this might draw unwanted attention.
  • Trustworthy News Sources: Stay informed about the situation by following reliable news channels. These outlets will provide accurate updates and help you make informed decisions about your safety.


Prepare and Be Proactive:


  • Limit Errands: During periods of unrest, it's best to minimize unnecessary outings. Stock up on essential supplies beforehand to avoid shopping trips during peak unrest times.
  • ATM Withdrawals: Consider withdrawing enough cash in advance to avoid relying on ATMs during potential disruptions.
  • Parking Smart: If you must drive, park your car in a well-lit area with a clear and easy exit route.


Protect Your Family and Loved Ones:


  • Communication is Key: Keep your loved ones, especially children, informed about the situation.
  • Stay Together: During times of unrest, it's important to stay close to your family, particularly children.


Travel Wisely:


  • Major Road Closures: If possible, avoid traveling on major roads during periods of civil unrest. Traffic disruptions and road closures are common occurrences.
  • Stay Updated: Use reliable news sources or traffic apps to stay updated on road closures and disruptions.


Prioritize Calm:


Remember, even during passionate times, staying calm is crucial. Avoid confrontations and arguments, and prioritize your safety and the safety of those around you.
