With winter fast approaching, it's time to start getting
ready. There's lots of ways you could be affected by
severe weather so this year people and businesses across Scotland
are being encouraged to consider if they are ready for winter and
to think about what they can do to make sure they're ready for
severe weather or a prolonged icy snap.
Even relatively small disruptions can have serious consequences,
but by taking action now we can lessen the impact and all help make
Scotland better prepared. There are straight-forward
practical steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of disruption
occurring and even if a problem did occur, taking simple steps to
get ready for winter can lessen the effect on you and speed up the
return to normal.
Whether at home, at work, in the community or out on the road, we
all need to consider how we - our employees, colleagues,
supporters, suppliers, members, service users or customers - could
be affected. You can get involved by sharing information,
making plans, taking action and by visiting www.readyscotland.org/
