How did London stay safe during the London Blitz?

Answer 1

To try and stay safe in the blitz people....

People either bought Anderson shelters to put in there garden or bought Morrison shelters for there houses if they didn't have gardens, as only 20% of the public had gardens then. The Morrison shelters weren't very big so usually people had 2 if they could afford it! They could hold 2 tonnes of weight and only collapsed by 12 inches when put under pressure.

Also people turned off all the light so London wasn't visible to the Nazis, everyone was asked that if they were going out during the blitz to wear white clothing so they could be visible to other pedestrians and car users. The blitz cause a lot of accidents as all street lights, car lights and house lights were turned off, some of the accidents included; Car crashes, Getting run over by cars, Falling off of bridges and into ponds and even walking into each other and walls.

Hope this helps :]

well there was a few ways firstly there were air raid sirens which alerted people that there were enemy planes around so they would go to shelters. some shelters were built in peoples garden others were built in the street lot of London's underground stations were converted to bomb shelters like aldwich and down street where the members of the cabinet could work while air raids were going on. there were special train carrying food to take to the people who were sheltering. as well as that children were evacuated from London to the countryside where threats of air raids were less alot of famous British novels are written about this situation for example goodnight Mr tom. another is blackouts which was At night all lights in London had to be switched off so the enemy could not find London the final thing was using gas mask everyone was given one to put on encase of a gas attack though it never came hope this helps some useful resources would be BBC history or the History Channel also book in your local library
