Advice Leaflets/Publications
Preparing for Emergencies
The government sent a booklet 'Preparing for Emergencies - What you need to know' to every home in the UK, in August 2004. The booklet contains practical advice on the steps you can take to help yourself and your family in the event of an emergency.
The Preparing for Emergencies website accompanies the booklet and provides online advice covering:
Guidance of how to prepare for a variety of emergencies that could occur
What to do in the event of an emergency
What the government is doing to protect the country
Information Leaflets
The Contingency Planning Officer produces publications in order to warn and inform the public as to the various on-going emergency management activities in the Strathclyde Emergencies Co-ordination Group area, in order to improve local resilience. The production of additional leaflets will continue and evolve with time.
