WHO CAN OPEN YOUR DOOR IN AN EMERGENCY?
This is something many of us donโt think about when making an emergency safety plan.
But if you live alone and become unwell or have a fall, the emergency services may need to get into your
home quickly.
Having a trusted key holder nearby or a key safe can make a real difference. It can help the
emergency services reach you without unnecessary delays and reduce the risk of them having to force
entry and damage your property.
If you have pets at home, a key holder can also help make sure they are safely looked after if you need to
go to hospital, and keep them safely out of the way while the emergency services are helping you.
Is there someone you trust nearby who could hold a key for you?
If you already have a key holder, make sure their name and contact details are included in your
iMergencies file through the Member Portal. If you use a key safe, check that we have the correct
location and code.
That way, if you ever need our help, our emergency team will already have this information available.
Plan ahead. Stay safer !
