- Make sure mobile phones are charged.
- Check on your neighbours, especially those that are alone, elderly and vulnerable.
- Keep pets safe and indoor.
- Know where to turn off your electricity or gas supply, if needed.
- Secure items outside your home such as bins and outdoor furniture.
- If advised to leave your property by the authorities, follow any instructions they give and leave your home as secure as possible.
