Preparing for emergencies

Goverment Advice

The Government sent a booklet 'Preparing for Emergencies - What you need to know' to every home in the UK, in August 2004. The booklet contains practical advice on the steps you can take to help yourself and your family in the event of an emergency.

The Preparing for Emergencies website accompanies the booklet and provides online advice covering:

  • Guidance on how to prepare for a variety of emergencies that could occur
  • What to do in an emergency
