Unless you want to buy you're own Noddy Suit and Respirator, and practice getting into it in less than 30 seconds. Then well, you are buggered mate. Yes be vigillant, yes have an idea what to do in an emergency. But dont expect the British Government to have anything sorted out. Cause you'll be dead, and then it wont matter.

Actually it is kind of connected. If a serious terrorist attack it could easily spread mass panic to the suburbs. It didn't happen with 9/11 because no WMD we're involved, but imagine if it had.
You are right there isn't much you can do as it happens. Some info in what to do to contain it after the fact would be nice. The trouble is the experts themselves don't know. I mean, they say you should run into the wind away from the site. Some say you should keep still or you could spread it. If someone's on the floor do you try and give first aid, or leave them? What are you supposed to do? I haven't got a clue. The 5 or so minutes before the emergency services come is crucial.
I've actually raised this point before. After 9/11 America distributed their guidance, but all we got from MI-5 was: "Err... I'll get back to you on that". We've rode our luck long enough.
