Where to find information
Follow your local Council website and social media for up to date information
Phone lines can become overloaded quickly. Keep them clear so emergency calls can be made and if you can, use text or online messaging to keep in touch.
Stay in touch with family, friends and neighbours particulary those who may be vulnerable.
Listen to the radio for up-to-date news and advice, AM frequencies are the most resilient channel. If you don’t have a battery-operated radio, perhaps listen in your car. Conserve phone battery, limit mobile phone calls and data use (which drains your battery).
