Are You Ready for Winter?

The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities have expressed their support for The Scottish Government's 'Ready for Winter?' campaign which is being delivered in partnership with the British Red Cross and a range of public, private and voluntary sector partners. The initiative seeks to address issues surrounding public expectation and community resilence which link well to 2 key recommendations from the COSLA Severe Weather Review.

The 'Ready for Winter?' campaign will:

  • Remind people of the risks and consequences of being underprepared for the impact of severe winter weather
  • Offer information and advice on the simple steps that people, businesses and communities can take to reduce those risks
  • Highlight the range of information, support and resources available across all sectors and all regions of Scotland
  • Encourage as many people as possible to be ready for winter this year
