Terms of use

Information, not advice

This site offers general information about emergency preparedness for UK households. It is not medical, legal, financial, electrical safety or other professional advice, and it takes no account of your household or your circumstances. Before you spend money or act on the information, check the details with the service, supplier or adviser concerned. In an emergency, call 999.

Accuracy

We check our content against its sources, but warnings, guidance, schemes and products change often, so a page can fall behind. Every page shows its sources so you can check them yourself. If you spot a mistake, please tell us through the contact page.

Links to other sites

Our links mostly point to the sources we cite. We take no responsibility for the content of other sites, and a link is not an endorsement of the site or its owner.
