Additional Information

Radio and TV warnings:

These are broadcast on most local Radio stations and TV channels.

In an emergency, it would be good to have a landline telephone that doesn't need mains power (a dial or push button phone) in case there is a power failure and your mobile doesn't work, as well as a battery-powered AM/FM radio.

Make sure your contact details with the MEPCC are up-to-date and you have the name and contact information for your local MPECC Co-ordinator handy.
