What to do in an emergency

How to Stay Informed

During a major incident, information can change quickly. The most reliable, up-to-date information will come directly from the emergency services, your local council, and local radio.

Tune In to Local Radio

In an emergency, especially during a power cut, local radio is one of the most reliable ways to get updates.
