North Yorkshire Council have recently issued an Emergency Planning pamphlet to help residents prepare for emergencies.
Please have a look at this plan and assess your risks. Then keep the copy of the leaflet because it has all the emergency numbers on the back.
In this small community, please think about your neighbours too:
Would they be stranded upstairs or downstairs if there was a power outage?
Do they have a mobile phone?


We hope we will never need an emergency plan but it’s good to be prepared.
