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?
A new government website has been launched to help and share information: www.gov.uk/prepare
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.
