Before a Storm

Check Weather Warnings – Sign up for Met Office alerts and monitor forecasts for severe weather updates.
Secure Outdoor Items – Bring in or firmly anchor garden furniture, bins, and loose objects that could become projectiles in high winds.
Prepare an Emergency Kit – Include torches, spare batteries, non-perishable food, bottled water, a first aid kit, important documents, and warm clothing.
Check Your Home – Ensure roofs, fences, and gutters are secure, and trim any overhanging branches that could cause damage.
Plan for Power Cuts – Have battery packs charged, know where your torches are, and consider alternative heating options if needed.
