Emergencies can happen at any time during the winter months and the flooding this week in Scotland and North-West England has underlined the fact. With a few small steps you can prepare yourself for the unexpected things that can cause disruption to our daily lives.
The Scottish Government's Ready for Winter campaign asks: "Are you prepared for the kinds of things that can happen because of an emergency?"

- Becoming stranded or severely delayed while on a journey in the car
- Evacuation from your home or business, either by yourself or by the authorities, or being unable to get into your home or premises
- Being confined to the indoors, at home, or somewhere else
- Unplanned separation of family members
