September is Preparedness Month, and we are proud to support the campaign ๐Ÿ“ข

Throughout the month, we'll be sharing practical advice, guidance, and information on local risks to help individuals, families, and communities be better prepared for emergencies and unexpected events.

Preparedness is about knowing what to do before, during, and after an incident. By raising awareness and encouraging simple actions, we can help build safer, more resilient communities across West Yorkshire.

Together, we can help people stay informed, stay prepared, and stay safe.
