Keeping Safe this Winter
Keep Warm - Keep Well |
Severe weather is one of the biggest threats to the efficient day-to-day running of the country, and it's for this reason Warwickshire has in place regularly tested procedures and means of reducing the impact of this on the community. The community however has an important role in taking measures to protect themselves.
The Met Office are currently predicting a winter with slightly below average temperatures, though it is important to remember even an average winter is likely to include some notable cold snaps and snowfalls, and therefore the public should, as always be aware and prepared.

Keeping warm is a vital part of keeping well in the winter particularly for older people, the young and those with chronic illness, as more people get ill and the number of deaths rise. In order to help people keep well this winter the Department of Health has launched its annual ‘Keep Warm, Keep Well' Campaign.
