HOUSEHOLDS across Cumbria are being encouraged to consider how to be better prepared in the event of an emergency.

ACTion with Communities in Cumbria has produced a simple Household Emergency Plan leaflet to help residents in the county.

ACT says families and households can better cope with emergencies by preparing in advance and working together as a team. The leaflet is available on ACT’s website, by calling 01228 817224 or emailing info@cumbriaaction.org.uk

The ACT Team will be at Ulverston and North Lonsdale Show on Wednesday July 26.
