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 :]

During World War II, London was a dangerous place. The city was subject to a period of sustained bombing from the German Luftwaffe (air force) and so thousands of city children were sent to stay out in the country, where it was believed they would be safe. Country people opened up their homes to these children, taking them in for months at a time to provide a safe haven for them.

During World War II, the British people employed several strategies to stay safe from bombings, particularly during the Blitz. They took shelter in underground stations, designated bomb shelters, and even their basements.
