Know your area and community
Knowing your area is key to understanding and responding to a local emergency.
Consider:
- what could happen locally
- what warnings might be given
- what do they sound like
- how do you know when it is safe
- what do you do about pets in an emergency
- what about the vulnerable and those less mobile
- what about schools or workplaces
- what are the hazards within your home
Your community
You could make a difference in your community.
Consider:
- whether you have elderly, disabled or vulnerable neighbours that might need help
- how neighbours can work together to help each other
- what skills there are within your community
- whether you have contact details for your neighbours
