Wiltshire: 'Be Flood Ready' campaign

 

With winter approaching and the risk of heavy rainfall increasing, Wiltshire Council is encouraging residents and businesses to take simple steps now to prepare for potential flooding.

Flooding can happen quickly and cause serious disruption to homes, roads, and communities. That's why the council has launched a campaign to raise awareness of local flood risks and promote practical actions that can help reduce damage and keep people safe.

Key steps to prepare can be found at https://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/news/be-flood-ready-wiltshire-council-urges-residents-to-prepare-ahead-of-winter-weather

Restart a Heart takes place on Thursday 16 October and to support the campaign, Wiltshire Council leisure centres will host free CPR demonstrations and hands-on "have-a-go" sessions. The interactive sessions will teach the basics of CPR and defibrillator use, using trusted resources provided by RLSS UK.
