Planning ahead

Members of the public can check:

• The Met Office’s weather forecasts
• Severe weather warnings issued for rain, snow, wind, fog and ice
• Weather preparedness guidance
• The Council’s flooding advice
• The Environment Agency’s Flood Alerts and Warnings 
• The UK Health Security Agency’s health guidance and advice on keeping safe in a flood and cleaning up afterwards

Professionals who work with people who face the health risks of cold weather can check:

• Cold Health Alerts, issued by the UKHSA and the Met Office, uses a colour-based system to reflect the combined likelihood and expected impacts of health on cold weather, which is especially useful for people who work with at-risk groups.
• Action cards and guidance on supporting vulnerable people.
