What to do and who to ring in Emergencies
Emergencies can affect anybody with little or no notice.
Being prepared can help reduce the effects on people’s lives, reduce the need for support from others and enable you to support the vulnerable members of your street or community.
Emergencies such as floods, fires, gas explosions and major accidents may require you to leave your home for short periods of time.
Other incidents such as disruption to essential services that we all rely upon (such as water, electricity, telecoms and travel networks) or being stranded due to adverse weather or illness is not always an emergency but can affect our everyday lives.
