Free Harborough webinar to prepare for power outages ahead of winter
People living and working in Harborough are being invited to a webinar looking at how to prepare themselves for utility outages as winter approaches.
The Risk Ready Communities Programme will run sessions to equip people with essential knowledge if they need to go days without electricity, gas or water in the event of an outage.
Power cuts and utility outages can happen at any time and bring major disruption.
The free webinar will explain what you can do to be prepared - and how to support yourself and others.
It is open to residents, community/faith groups, businesses and councils across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
The sessions will be held on September 29 from 2pm to 3.30pm, and October 14 from 6.30pm to 8pm.
The Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Resilience Forum said: “It is important that everyone in the community is aware of the actions they can take in an emergency, and that we all look out for each other. Everyone is welcome to share their ideas and insights so we can be prepared now and recover faster if something does happen.”
