This is an emergency preparedness campaign on social media that connects, informs and suggests activities to boost personal resilience during September.

Many local organisations involved in this work through the North Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum come together to share these important messages. This includes us, the police, fire service, NHS, ambulance service, Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board and City of York Council.

We’re encouraging residents to think about the risks local to North Yorkshire and how they can prepare themselves for them. More information available on Our risks in North Yorkshire page.

We’re also sharing information with businesses to encourage them to prepare for incidents by completing a business continuity plan. Information on how to protect your business is available on our protect your business in an emergency page.

Both residents and businesses can also use the Yorkshire Ready together online tool to have conversations about preparing homes and businesses should the worst happen. There’s advice on issues like flooding, extreme weather power outages and cyber-attacks.

The Yorkshire Ready Together online tool provides real-time, two-way, emergency preparedness advice via a free AI tool. The tool offers advice on potential issues and major events such as flooding, fires, extreme weather and power outages.
