Hello and welcome.

[Sarahjane22]

Welcome to the forum! Absolutely, you've made a great start.

Do you know what are the biggest risks in your area? Flooding, train derailments, something that might be a target for terrorist attacks? And check out the resilience website of your county - plus fire brigade, police, even your insurance company. How would you get home if something happened when you were at work? Those are the kind of questions (to me, anyway ) that come up after food, water and medical, as you say. But you've made a fantastic start, you're already ahead of 98% of the population.

Thank you for the advice. I will definitely look into that. Getting home from work if something happened is essential to me. I have rescue dogs that I would need to get home to. I actually keep a fold up bike in my boot, just in case.
I read a fiction book about an EMP attack/ Solar flare and that made me worry enough to have a plan

Pick a few different routes home from work in case one of the roads is closed. Drive/bike them to make sure they're actually doable. Do you have a neighbour who could get in and allow the dogs out or fed them if necessary?
