◎Twitterで緊急救助を求める
「#救助」タグと共に、要請内容・写真・住所または位置情報などを、正確かつ具体的に書く。
救助が完了したら、報告ツイートをするとともに、救助要請ツイートを削除する。
「警視庁公式防犯アプリ「DigiPolice」では、犯罪発生状況の閲覧や各種防犯機能が利用できる」とのこと。
◎熊と遭遇したら
・遠くにいるクマに気付いた時は、あわてず、落ち着いてその場から離れる。
・クマを驚かせるような大声を出したり、フラッシュをたいたりしない。
・近くにクマがいた時は、クマに背をむけず、落ち着いてゆっくりクマを見ながら後ずさりしつつ、その場を離れる（背を向けると、クマは一気に（時速50kmで）追いかけてくる習性がある。）
・至近距離で出会ってしまったら、あわてず、急な動作で驚いて襲ってくることがあるので、冷静にクマがその場を去ってから離れる。
・襲われた時は、両手で頭をガードする（襲われた時に後頭部を腕でガードして、背を丸めて九死に一生を得たケースがあった。）
・食料などを携帯している場合は、荷物をその場に置く（クマの興味がそちらに移った隙に逃げられることもある。）
