look at the back of or underneath the handbreak lever, usually you can see the cable and a nut, just tighten the nut and keep checking the handbrake operation as you tighten.
Sometimes the adjusters can be at the rear wheels, you'll need to check first. I would check the break shoes/pads for wear before adjusting the cable.
