#30days30waysuk – Household Emergency Preparedness

Emergencies can happen, there are some simple things you can do such as:

• Prepare a household emergency plan. It doesn’t have to be complicated, just ask yourself ‘what if’ and find the answers, think about important contacts, people and escape routes.

• If you had to leave your home quickly, with no idea of when you would be able to return, would you be able to grab everything you needed? Prepare a grab bag, a bag of essential items such as spare cash, medication, important documents and a torch that you can grab quickly in case you need to leave your home.
