Set up a Direct Debit for your Council Tax and we'll plant a tree

Get Ready! Making sure West Yorkshire is prepared for anything

Get Ready! Making sure West Yorkshire is prepared for anything

West Yorkshire Prepared, the region’s Local Resilience Forum, is made up of West Yorkshire’s emergency services, local authorities, health providers and the Environment Agency. Together with the Met Office, voluntary organisations, transport and utility companies, the Partnership work to identify potential risks and produce emergency plans to either prevent or mitigate the impact of any incident on local communities.

Coming up in 2020, West Yorkshire Prepared will continue to work to keep the people of West Yorkshire safe. It will host, deliver and support a number of events, training sessions and seminars all designed to plan for and make the region more resilient to local and national incidents.

They will be launching a new website soon, but in the meantime you can keep up to date with the work of West Yorkshire Prepared on Facebook or Twitter.
