Emergencies such as flooding, fires and power cuts can affect us all. There are
simple and effective steps you can take to be more prepared.


IF AN EMERGENCY DID HAPPEN IN YOUR AREA, HOW WOULD YOU MANAGE? WHAT ABOUT YOUR
RELATIVES, FRIENDS, NEIGHBOURS OR COLLEAGUES – DO YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO MIGHT NEED
SOME EXTRA HELP OR SUPPORT?

The information on this site is designed to help you prepare for emergencies, be
more informed about hazards, and get involved in activities to support yourself
and your community before, during and after an emergency.

There is also specific advice for disabled persons and carers.

TAKING ACTION NOW WILL MAKE IT EASIER TO MANAGE IF AN EMERGENCY DOES HAPPEN.

HERE ARE A FEW SIMPLE THINGS YOU COULD DO NOW TO PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES

 1. Find out if you are eligible to sign up to your gas, electricity and water
    supplier’s Priority Service Registers, so they know that you need additional
    support, including when there is an interruption to your supply. Ask anyone
    you provide care for if they are registered.
 2. Set a reminder in your phone or make a note on your calendar to check your
    smoke alarms at least once a month. You can involve children in the monthly
    test too. 
 3. Write down important phone numbers on paper such as the number to report a
    power cut (105) and the numbers of anyone you might want to contact in an
    emergency. Use our downloadable and printable household emergency plan to
    record this information in one document. 
 4. Talk to your children about emergencies – teach them how and when to call
    999 and what they should do if there’s an emergency, such as a fire at
    home. 
 5. Check your long term flood risk and sign up for flood and weather warnings.
