Winter Preparedness
With Winter finally here, our winter maintenance crews have been out and about spreading their grit and cheer and we wish them a safe winter season on our roads and pavements. Follow our socials @moraycouncil to see the weekly gritting stats!
We’ve started our winter resilience campaign by supporting a community resilience booklet being sent to all households. The booklet is a joint venture with the Joint Community Council of Moray supported by Moray Council’s Community Support Unit, funded by SSEN Local Authority funding for Emergency Planning. It’s a one-stop shop for advice during an emergency event.
The information includes adverse weather advice, how to prepare for winter, useful contacts and provides space for household specific information like emergency contacts. The booklet will be available online here.
We're also focussing on encouraging vulnerable people to sign up to the Priority Services Register in case of utility outages and directing residents to the service status portal for updates about disruption to council services. Key advice is also available on ready.scot all year round on helping individuals and businesses to be as resilient as possible in the event of an emergency.
We'd appreciate sharing of these messages when you see them to help keep everyone in Moray as safe as possible this winter.
