Be Prepared for Emergency Situations

The winter months can throw all sorts at us. It might bring snow or ice, high winds, power disruption or flooding.

During an incident, you may be home bound for an extended period, potentially without electricity. It is useful to make sure you have basic supplies in stock if you can. This could include canned and dried food, bottled water, medicines, torches, radio and batteries, a portable gas cooker (please use it safely because there is a CO2 risk if used wrong), pet food, and warm clothes. Plan supplies for as long as possible, up to 72 hours if you are able to.
