Planning ahead

You can plan ahead for spells of unsettled weather by checking the forecast and warnings issued for your area:

• Met Office weather forecasts
• Severe weather warnings issued for rain, snow, wind, fog and ice
• Environment Agency flood alerts and warnings 

There is useful advice for everyone on these websites:

• Government guidance on keeping warm and well
• Met Office advice on how to stay safe and healthy in severe weather
• Government guidance on keeping safe in a flood and cleaning up afterwards
• Wokingham Borough Council’s website on flooding and drainage

If you work with people who are more at risk from cold weather:

• Sign up for Cold Health Alerts - these use a colour-based system to reflect the combined likelihood and expected impacts of cold weather on health
• See the action cards and guidance on supporting vulnerable people
