"Be safe, be prepared" is the message behind a major
social media campaign launched this September and supported by all North
Wales councils, Welsh Government, the emergency services and some utility
companies.
The #30days30waysUK campaign has been running in
parts of the UK and in other countries world-wide over recent years and
this year it is being supported by the North Wales Local Resilience Forum, a
body made up of all organisations involved in dealing with emergencies) is
lending its support. The Forum has a duty to warn and inform the public on how
to stay safe during emergencies.
One message will be issued each day during
September on a wide range of issues, including how to deal with flooding,
staying safe in the home, awareness of cyber-bullying, fire safety, tips on
driving in wintry weather and where to find the latest information about roadworks
and traffic alerts.
Councillor Richard Mainon, Cabinet Lead Member for
Corporate Services and Strategic Direction: “Organisations across North Wales
work together throughout the year to help residents prepare for emergencies
such as flooding, winter weather and storms, but also on issues such as
protecting your home and your personal safety.
“The Council is pleased to be supporting a
campaign like this, as it’s a great opportunity to send home those
messages again and we hope residents find them useful and take steps to make
themselves safer and better prepared to deal with emergency situations”.
