• - Prepare an emergency kit, including emergency numbers, insurance policy, first aid kit, torch and water.
• - Use our home emergency contacts sheet so you have the numbers you need to hand, even if you lose power.
• - Have a list of irreplaceable items to keep safe and put important personal documents into a sealed bag.
• - Pack essential items you will need if evacuated – medication, clothing, toiletries and items for children.
• - Purchase unfilled sandbags and sand from builders’ merchants. Remember that, if there is a flood, demand may exceed supply - as people will rush to buy them.
• - Empty freezers and refrigerators, leaving doors open.
• - If you can, move any vehicles to higher levels.
• - If you have time, take photographs before you leave. This may help later with insurance claims.
• - Turn off the mains power and water, and take mobile phones and chargers with you. Put sandbags in toilet bowls to prevent sewage back-flow.
• - Shut windows, lock doors - and don't forget to take your pets.
