“Be Winter Ready” in case of a power cut or gas emergency
- Know your free emergency numbers: In a power cut dial 105 or, for a gas
emergency, dial 0800 111999. - Prepare your home: Keep a torch handy and get your appliances serviced by a
Gas Safe registered engineer to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. - Register as a vulnerable customer: Vulnerable households can get extra
support by signing up to the Priority Services Register:

cut/ - Keep your eyes open: Keep an eye on the weather forecast and, if you have a
power cut or a gas emergency, check on your neighbours.
