Stay Safe during Storm Eunice

 We hope you are all staying warm and safe during this dangerous storm raging around England. To help students at our Nottingham accommodation, we have compiled a summary of advice on how to stay safe, using information for the Met Office.

What to do during the storm to stay safe

• Stay indoors as much as possible

• If you do go out, try not to walk or shelter close to buildings and trees

• Keep away from the sheltered side of boundary walls and fences - if these structures fail, they will collapse on this side

• If possible, enter and leave your house through doors in the sheltered side, closing them behind you

• Open internal doors only as needed, and close them behind you

• Take care when driving on exposed routes such as bridges, or high open roads, delay your journey or find alternative routes if possible

• Slow down and be aware of side winds, particular care should be taken if you are towing or are a high sided vehicle

• Do not drive unless your journey is really necessary

• Let reception know if there is any water or wind damage caused by the storm immediately

• If you feel unsafe due to wind, please let us know if we can help

• Ensure your window is closed unless uncessary
