Ready Scotland has developed toolkits to support public communications and engagement on emergency preparedness.
These toolkits provide assets and suggested captions for you to use, adapt and share on your social media channels. You can either copy these messages directly or customise them to reach your audience.
Hot Weather
We may joke about the weather in Scotland, but heat is a real risk that can affect anyone.
This toolkit contains guidance on coping with the issues hot weather can cause, such as heatstroke, heat exhaustion, and dehydration.
We appreciate your support in sharing our messages on staying safe in hot weather.
