Nottingham City Council is working hard to make sure that Nottingham is as prepared as it can be in the event of an emergency, and it is important that you are ready too. By being informed and prepared, you can significantly reduce the risk to life and property.

Helping yourself. Helping each other

During a crisis, strong communities are better able to cope with what is happening around them. Please share the information contained on this website with family, friends and neighbours who may not be able to understand it themselves or may not have access to a computer.

The Government sent a booklet ‘Preparing for Emergencies – What you need to know’ to every home in the UK, in August 2004. The Booklet contains practical advice on the steps you can take to help yourself and your family in the event of an emergency.

The Preparing for Emergencies website www.pfe.gov.uk accompanies the booklet and provides online advice covering:

• Guidance on how to prepare for a variety of emergencies that could occur
• What to do in the event of an emergency
• What the government is doing to protect the country.

Nottingham City Council has produced a brief guide to emergency planning in the City of Nottingham.

Alternatively you can request a paper copy of this guide, which is also available in Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Urdu, Chinese, and Farsi by contacting us, stating which format you require.
