About the Campaign

30 Days 30 Ways is a September awareness campaign that encourages individuals, families, and communities to take simple actions to improve their emergency preparedness and resilience. Through a series of daily tips, challenges, and resources, the campaign aims to make preparedness easy, practical, and accessible for everyone.

Each day highlights a different aspect of preparedness, covering topics such as severe weather, flooding, power outages, cyber security, communication plans, first aid, emergency supplies, and community support. Participants are encouraged to follow the daily challenges, learn more about local risks, and take practical steps that can help protect themselves, their families, and those around them.

More information and resources on each theme will be shared throughout the month below.

  • Day 1: Know your Risk

    • Check the Suffolk Community Risk Register below.
    • Review or create a Household Emergency Plan.

  • Day 2: Power Cut Preaparedness

    Power cuts can happen unexpectedly due to severe weather, infrastructure faults, or accidental damage to power lines. While many outages are short, some can last longer and affect heating, lighting, communications, and food storage. Today’s challenge is simple: check that you have a working torch in an easy-to-reach place, spare batteries available, and a charged power bank ready to use if needed.

    Remember to save 105 in your phone to report a power cut and check in on neighbours, friends, and relatives who may need extra support.

  • Day 3: Cyber Safety
    Cybercrime and fraud continue to affect individuals and organisations every day, but taking a few simple precautions can make a significant difference:
    • Use strong, unique passwords for every account.
    • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible.
    • Where supported, consider using passkeys instead of passwords.
    • Keep devices, apps and software up to date.
    • Be cautious of unexpected emails, links and attachments.
    • Check website addresses carefully and only use secure sites that begin with https://.
    • Be extremely wary of unexpected requests for money.
    • Know how to report cybercrime. For ongoing incidents call 101. To report fraud, visit here
