Take the hassle out of planning for an emergency

The Team from Marlborough District Council

Phew! We've just had national Get Ready week, Mental Health Awareness week and the last week of school holidays! I bet some children (and parents) are wondering where the time has gone! Life’s a bit like that; often the things we plan to do just kind of disappear in our busy lives.

Phew! We've just had national Get Ready week, Mental Health Awareness week and the last week of school holidays! I bet some children (and parents) are wondering where the time has gone! Life’s a bit like that; often the things we plan to do just kind of disappear in our busy lives.

Planning for an emergency isn’t much different. Trying to get everything done all at once can sometimes seem overwhelming. So, how about breaking it down step-by-step? Start with developing a household plan. On the weekend, look at making your home safer. Start saving large plastic drink bottles (not milk bottles) and store some water. Spread the cost by buying a few extra items each week for your household emergency kit (such as canned food, torch batteries).

And most importantly, keep on building those links with your neighbours – they’re your first source of support in an emergency. And if you’d like to know more – just ask me.
