Family emergency plan
Preparing for an emergency
Prior to an emergency, you should take time to:
- Find out where and how to turn off the water, gas and electricity supplies in your home
- Find out the emergency procedures for your children at school
- Find out the emergency procedures at your workplace
- Establish how your family will stay in contact in the event of an emergency
- Assess any elderly or vulnerable neighbours that might need your help
- Learn how to tune in to your local radio
- Ensure that you have property and contents insurance
The government's Prepare website provides lots more helpful guidance, see GOV.UK: Prepare.
