The British government will launch a leaflet on Monday giving people advice on what to do in the event of a terrorist attack or other emergency.
Home Secretary David Blunkett said the government could not guarantee 100 percent safety from terror but the security services were trying to prevent attacks.
"The leaflet is all about helping you to do what you need to do and know what you need to know," he told BBC television on Sunday.
"This could be from a terrorism attack all the way through to a major fire, to a flood, to a situation where you're actually trying to help other people."
Blunkett said that the terror threat was real but warned against panic, saying people should be "alert not alarmed."
"We need to go about our daily lives," he said, "If people are very frightened they will change their behavior."
