Severe weather

Storms 

During a storm you may want to consider the following:

• secure outdoor items and bring as much as possible indoors, including pets
• close windows, clear window sills, and draw curtains to protect from flying glass
• stay indoors and away from windows
• keep some empty sandbags and sand (or earth) ready for use. At the first sign of trouble, place them around doorways and air-vents
• have a 'survival plan' ready in case you need to act quickly. Think about what you would need to do if the water was about to get into your home
• try to make sure your neighbours know about any warnings, especially if they are elderly or vulnerable.
