Planning for an Emergency
Government advice: www.preparingforemergencies.gov.uk
Council advice: http://193.113.179.211/publicsafety-planningforemergencies
Independant Advice: www.floodforum.org.uk
| A List of Useful Numbers | As above. Useful Contacts can be also found in your area’s Flood Directory. |
| Flood Kit | Make sure you prepare a Flood Kit containing: including key personal documents, torch, battery or wind-up radio, mobile phone, rubber gloves, wellington boots, waterproof clothing, first aid kit and blankets. |
| Children’s Essentials | Make a list of the vital items you will need. For example, milk, baby food, sterilized bottles and spoons, nappies and wipes, nappy bags, spare clothing, comforter, favourite toy or best teddy |
| Medication | Would you need to take any family medication? |
| Valuable and Sentimental Belongings | Get into the habit of storing them upstairs or in a high place downstairs. |
| Flood Boards & Sandbags | Have a few flood boards or sandbags prepared to block doorways and airbricks. Sand bags can be purchased from Enterprise Works http://193.113.179.211/enterprise workssandandcement-2. The Council will deliver sand bags if, and only if, the Environment Agency has declared the area at risk of flooding. |
| Gas and Electricity | Do you know where to turn them off, even in the dark? |
| Car | Where would you move it to? |
| Evacuation | If the flooding is severe, you may be evacuated. What would you need to take with you and what provision can you make for family pets? If you choose to leave the house, do you know where you would go and how you would you get there? If you decide to stay in the house but decamp upstairs, make a list of all the things you will need. |
