Emergencies can happen at any time. With a few small steps you
can prepare your family, your home
and your business for the unexpected things that can
cause disruption to our daily lives.
Are you prepared for the kinds of things that can happen because
of an emergency?
- Power cuts, or disruption to fuel supplies
- Loss of telephone communications
- Flooding, at home, or at your place of business
- Becoming stranded or severely delayed while on a journey in the
car
- Evacuation from your home or business, either by yourself or by
the authorities, or being unable to get into your home or
premises
- Being confined to the indoors, at home, or somewhere else
- Unplanned separation of family members
