It looks like further Metro lines are now either closed or experiencing delays (12 - 16 are ‘interrupted’). Here are the updates.

Here is a list of several foreign embassies and the numbers to call if you have friends or family in Paris (linking to a Twitter post because some of the retweets / replies have further numbers or corrections)

You can mark yourself safe on Facebook if you are in Paris - this will give all your friends a notification as to your safety, and you can also keep track of other friends who have marked themselves safe
