This is the fifth year of the ‘Be Summer Ready’ campaign which complements the long-running “Be Winter Ready” information campaign.
The aim of the campaign is to provide information to the general public on issues which may affect them during the summer months in Ireland, encouraging people to be informed and aware of the risks which may occur, in order to be prepared, to stay safe, and know where to find help if needed in an emergency.
The focus of the 2024 campaign messaging is ‘TravelWise’. It aims to highlight and make the public aware of staying safe while travelling abroad this summer and advice on preparations prior to travel.
A campaign leaflet contains important travel focused advice and information on passports, travel and health insurance, and consular assistance. There are also links to additional sources of advice to assist the public in planning and preparing before travelling.
We would urge people to take some time to familiarise themselves with the important safety information and advice in this campaign on topics such as water safety, road safety, health preparedness, and farm safety.
More information about the campaign is available on the Be Summer Ready website.
