Planning for emergencies
Write your own home plan
Having a plan ready that contains all the important phone numbers you may need, and the information about what to do in an emergency, can save valuable time and worry during an incident.
The links below lead to a plan which you can fill out with your own information:
- The Wiltshire and Swindon Prepared: At Home (opens new window) guide provides clear practical advice to help you prepare for and respond to an emergency. A lot of the information is common sense, but it has saved lives in the past
- Wiltshire & Swindon Prepared (opens new window) (Wiltshire & Swindon LRF) website provides the opportunity for the communities of Wiltshire and Swindon to be kept informed of the activities of the LRF, and how they can prepare themselves and their families for emergencies
Community Resilience
Communities play a vital role in emergencies and a simple Community Emergency Plan can be the first step towards becoming more resilient.

There's no time like the present to start thinking about how your community could become more resilient, and a good place to start could be by downloading our new plan template below.
