Prepare yourself & your family

Prepare but don't panic!  Emergencies are unlikely but they can happen, and with a few small steps you can prepare for the unexpected.

Are you prepared for these types of things to happen to you?

• Power cuts, or disruption to gas supplies
• Flooding at home, on the roads or at your place of business
• Severe weather, high winds or snow
• Loss of telephone communications
• Evacuation from your home or business
• Being confined indoors at home, at work or somewhere else
• Unplanned seperation from family members
• Becoming stranded or severely delayed on a journey in your car

You can find out more on preparing for, and managing, situations like these in the attached booklet Are you Prepared? and in the Community Risk Register Public Information located at Know Your Risks
