Stay calm and follow the instructions!
'Rimanete' = ree-ma-NEH-teh. 'Istruzioni' = ees-troo-TSYO-nee. Leadership phrase.
Said by a person taking charge in an emergency — directing a crowd to prevent panic.
'Rimanete' is the imperative plural of 'rimanere' (to stay/remain). 'Calmi' (calm) agrees with the plural subject in the masculine form. 'Seguite' is the imperative plural of 'seguire' (to follow). This phrase is used by emergency wardens, police, doctors and confident bystanders to maintain order during crises. Calm leadership reduces panic injuries.

In Italy, crowd management during emergencies is legally the responsibility of designated 'addetti all'emergenza' in workplaces and 'stewards' at public events. Bystander intervention (Good Samaritan) is legally protected and encouraged under Italian law — Article 593 of the Penal Code, as amended, protects those who provide assistance in good faith.
