Advice and Guidance

You also have a part to play in responding to emergencies!  By knowing what to do, you will be prepared; and therefore better able to cope with an emergency situation.

For advice and guidance about how you can help yourself and others in emergency, click here to see the Preparing For Emergencies website.

It has lots of information about what you can do to prepare for an emergency, and what to do if you are affected by one, whether you are an individual, a family, a business or a community group.

The Greater Manchester Authorities have produced a pocket sized leaflet about preparing for and coping with emergencies. To receive a free copy, contact us by the details below.
