Make an Emergency Plan
There are many things you can do to help prepare for an emergency including having your own household emergency plan.
This is just another name for a simple document that pulls together all your important information that may not always be readily to hand under normal circumstances, that you might need in an emergency.
Do you know your home insurance details? Do you know the mobile phone numbers of your close family and those living in your household? Do you know where to turn off your water, gas or electricity supply?
We have put together a quick and easy emergency plan template to help you get started at getting prepared.
Make your emergency plan today and discuss it with your family so you know what to do should something happen that affects you and your home.
You should also:
- Make sure you have suitable insurance. The Association of British Insurers website has useful information on home insurance and flooding insurance
- Think about where you would go and stay – and how you would get there – if an emergency meant you couldn’t stay at home.
