As a nation supposedly obsessed with the weather it's
surprising that although many of us watch, listen to or read
weather forecasts, we don't actually think a lot about how the
weather is going to affect us.
To help raise awareness on how we can minimise the negative
impact of severe weather conditions on our daily lives, Tendring
District Council Emergency Planning Unit has produced a series of
leaflets providing advice on what to do in the event of severe
weather, from how to prepare to driving in extreme conditions.
Click on the image below to view and / or download the Heat and
Sun leaflet. The leaflet is provided in pdf format, you will
need the
free adobe acrobat reader software to open
it.
The Council's other
severe weather leaflets can be accessed via

website.
The NHS also have a "Heatwave - a guide to looking
after yourself and others during hot weather".
The Department of Health has a lot of useful information regarding
heatwaves on its website. See below for links to their Heatwave
Plan and other advice. |
