Five things you can do now
- Find out if you are eligible to sign up to your gas, electricity and water supplier’s Priority Service Registers, so companies know that you need additional support.
- Set a reminder in your phone or make a note on your calendar to check your smoke alarm once a month.
- Write down important phone numbers on paper - such as the number to report a power cut (105), and the numbers of anyone you might want to contact in an emergency.
- Talk to your children about how and when to phone 999 and what they should do if there’s an emergency, such as a fire at home.
- Check your long term flood risk and sign up for flood and weather warnings.
