The 'Be Winter-Ready' campaign aims to:

  • To provide practical advice on how best to prepare for the coming winter.
  • To ensure the public are aware of where advice and help can be found, if needed.
  • To reassure the public that preparations are being made and arrangements have been put in place to ensure that there will be a coordinated response to severe weather events.

This year's campaign has a special focus on flooding and includes a new information leaflet on flooding that contains practical advice for householders in the event that flooding occurs.

Stay up to date with Twitter

Advice to the public is also available via a twitter account and the Office of Emergency Planning will be tweeting during the winter period to augment the 'Be Winter Ready' campaign.
The twitter account can be followed on @emergencyIE and the public are being encouraged to join in the conversation at #bewinterready.
