Jesse Taylor posted a helpful list this morning that I want to pass along.
Hotlines The British Transport Police has set up a telephone number for those concerned about a friend or relative. The telephone number is +44 (0) 20 8358 0101.
The Metropolitan Police also have a general hotline number set up; this is 020 7766 6020 (UK), or +44 20 7766 6020 (international).
The United States State Department has also set up a telephone hotline for US citizens with relatives or friends in the area. This number is +1 888 407 4747 (toll free in the United States).
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has set up an Emergency Hotline on 1800 002 214 and a website to be used if people are unable to directly contact their family or friends in the UK.
The Irish Department of Foreign Affairs has also set up a tollfree emergency hotline on 1800 242 548 for those in Ireland seeking news of friends and relatives in London.
The BBC has just shown a new hotline number: 0870 1566 344
Please don’t call these numbers or visit these websites if you do not have a genuine enquiry, they are extremely congested. This will give priority to concerned family and friends.
