On 20 November, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) published their cold weather communications toolkit, which supports the Adverse Weather and Health Plan and the updated Cold-Health Alerting service.
The communication material in the toolkit relates specifically to cold weather and is intended to provide basic health information that can be communicated during cold spells so that the right messages reach the right people at the right time.
The content included in this toolkit can be used to target both public and professional audiences. It contains background information, key messages, social media resources and links to useful information. The toolkit will also be published on the Campaign Resource Centre shortly.
UKHSA is reminding stakeholders to sign up to Weather-Health Alerts which are distributed via email. If you would like to receive the alerts, please register and share the link with anyone you feel should be receiving them.
