-## Respiratory illness
+If you have an urgent medical issue, call 1099 on the phone system or ask any volunteer with a radio. Please call our medical team instead of dialling 999, as you will get a faster response from our paramedics on site.
 
-While outdoor events are some of the lowest-risk places to be in the company of several thousand people, there is still a risk of infectious diseases, including COVID-19.
+## Refund policy
 
-### What we're doing
+We will fully refund your ticket if you are unable to come to EMF due to an infectious disease. If you have any of the following symptoms, **please don't attend** and ask us for a refund:
+
+* A positive test for COVID-19
+* Flu-like symptoms
+* Diarrhoea or vomiting (in the last 48 hours)
+* A rash with fever
+
+We trust our attendees not to abuse this offer, as it is unlikely we will be able to resell tickets returned so close to the event.
 
+## Respiratory illness
+While outdoor events are some of the lowest-risk places to be in the company of several thousand people, there is still a risk of infectious diseases, including not just COVID-19, but also measles and whooping cough, which are currently on the rise in the UK.
+
+### What we're doing
 We aim to reduce the baseline risk of infection in our main event structures to a level where wearing a mask should provide you with a very good level of protection. We're paying particular attention to ventilation, and we will be monitoring CO<sub>2</sub> with the aim of keeping levels in these structures below 800&nbsp;ppm. We will have a supply of FFP2 masks and tests available for free.
 
 We will be monitoring prevalence of COVID in the lead-up to the event, and if it is likely that prevalence is high, we may strengthen this policy.
 
 ### What you should do
-
 We strongly encourage you to:
 
 * Take a rapid test (lateral flow test) for COVID-19 the day you leave for EMF
 * Wear masks on public transport and in enclosed spaces on your way to EMF
 * Bring rapid tests with you to take during the event
 * Bring masks, and wear a mask at EMF if you're in a crowded enclosed area, particularly if people are talking or singing
-
-If you test positive for COVID in the days before the event, or if you have flu-like symptoms, **please don't attend**. We will refund your ticket if you can't attend EMF because you're contagious.
+* Be aware of the symptoms of [COVID-19](https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/symptoms/), [measles](https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/measles/), and [whooping cough](https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/whooping-cough/) (pertussis)
+* Ensure you are vaccinated against measles and whooping cough, and ideally that you have had a recent COVID booster
 
 The risk of catching airborne diseases is likely to be higher in smaller village tents, where people are talking and ventilation tends to be less good than our larger structures. We encourage villages to pay attention to ventilation in these tents.
 
 ### What to do if you're ill at EMF
-
-If you experience [symptoms of COVID](https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/symptoms/) during the event, please take a rapid COVID test &mdash; if you don't have one, the First Aid tent will give you one for free.
+If you experience symptoms of COVID during the event, please take a rapid COVID test &mdash; if you don't have one, the First Aid tent will give you one for free.
 
 A positive rapid test means that you are very likely contagious. If you test positive for COVID or have flu-like symptoms, please wear a mask, take great care to avoid close contact with other attendees, and leave the event as soon as you are able to. Even mild COVID symptoms won't be fun if you're stuck in a tent.
 
 If you have any respiratory symptoms but have tested negative for COVID, please keep testing every day and wear a mask while you're near other people.
 
 ## Food-borne illness
-
 Outdoor events carry a higher risk of catching food poisoning. We'll provide plenty of places for you to wash your hands, with running water and soap &mdash; please wash your hands regularly.
 
 ## Tick bites
 EMF is held in a deer park, which increases the risk of tick bites, especially if you wander off the event site into longer grass.
 
 Tick bites can carry [Lyme disease](https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/lyme-disease/). If you are bitten by a tick, please visit the First Aid tent to have it removed, and be aware of the symptoms of Lyme disease.
+
+## Burns
+Camping gas accidents can cause serious burns. Never change gas canisters in or near a tent and make sure the canister is threaded properly before lighting.
+
+## Hearing damage
+Exposure to loud music can cause damage to your hearing &mdash; we provide free earplugs at the Info desk and at Null Sector. Please use them if you don't have your own!
+
+## Weather
+Please come prepared for all weather! England in early June can be hot and sunny, or cold and rainy, sometimes within hours of each other.
+
+Make sure you drink plenty of water &mdash; there are water points across the site and free water is provided at the bars.
+
+Bring plenty of warm clothing and layers as it can get surprisingly cold at night.
