Severe Storms
There are some simple steps you can take before, during and
after severe storms to minimise the impact they have on your life
and your property:
Before
- Check the TV (news, teletext and ceefax) radio and newspapers
for the latest information and early warnings;
- Park your car off the road and away from trees and high
walls;
- Make sure your house is in good order;
- Secure outdoor items. Bring in as many items as possible that
are lying around outside;
- Close window sills and draw the curtains to protect against
flying glass.
During
- Stay away from the windows and stay on the ground floor where
possible;
- Check the TV, radio and newspapers for the latest
information.
After
- If damage has occurred inform your landlord or insurers;
- If the water, gas or electricity mains are not working inform
the appropriate supplier;
- WITHOUT RISKING PERSONAL SAFETY, rope off or protect any
damaged areas to prevent injuries.
