Winter readiness

Ready Scotland aim to make Scotland more resilient to emergencies.

They know that disruptions can happen at any time and they are here to help.

They have tips on the small steps you can take to prepare your home, your family, and your business for the unexpected.

And when emergencies do occur, they have advice on how you can best respond, keep yourself safe and help others in your community.

Whatever comes along – whether local disruption or global events – together, we can make sure that Scotland is ready for anything.

We recommend that all households build a small ’emergency kit’ as part of their home emergency plan. The following toolkit also contains a link to the Ready Scotland home emergency plan template and emergency kit checklist available to download as a PDF or print – Home Emergency Toolkit
