Free Webinar: Be Ready: Practical Preparedness for People and Businesses
Thursday, 26th November | 10:00 AM GMT
What would happen if the power went off for an extended period, your water supply was interrupted, or essential food and supplies became difficult to access? The Government’s Be Ready campaign encourages us all to think ahead and take practical steps to prepare for unexpected disruptions to everyday life.
Join David Hutcheson MBCI, expert in Crisis Management and Pandemic Planning, for this 60-minute webinar which will explore what being prepared really means from both a personal and business perspective, covering how to manage potential disruptions to essential services, protect your household, maintain business operations and plan for the unexpected. It’s not about living off-grid or retreating to a cave for six months, but taking sensible, practical steps to build resilience and be better prepared. Join us to find out how a little preparation today can make a big difference tomorrow.
