INTRODUCTION

CONTENTS;
1.1 Introduction
1.2 Aims of the plan
1.3 Objectives

1.1 Introduction

1.1.1 All major emergencies are dealt with by the Emergency Services, Local Authorities, Utilities and Voluntary Agencies in a combined response. A Parish Council Emergency Plan can help the parish prepare for an emergency and minimise its impact should it affect their community. This would therefore increase the Parish and Community’s resilience.

In extreme conditions such as heavy snow and flooding, there is a possibility that the emergency services may not be able to reach the scene immediately. In such circumstances, the initial response may rely entirely on local people.

The plan will also help Parish Councils fit in with Multi-Agency Emergency Response arrangements. It has been set out in a similar style to all of the Multi-Agency Plans in Nottinghamshire.

1.2 Aims of Plan
To provide a pro-active approach to assisting the community and the responders at times of emergency

1.3 Objectives
1.3.1        a. To provide a co-ordinated response from the local community.
              b. To assist the emergency services in identifying an initial place of safety for residents should an
            evacuation of properties become necessary.
                c. To assist where necessary in identifying the location of vulnerable people.

d. To identify key contacts and resources that may assist the emergency services and the
local authority.

ACTIVATION & INCIDENT MANAGEMENT

CONTENTS;

3.1 Notification of an emergency

3.2 Alerting procedure

3.3 Incident management

3.1 Notification of an emergency

3.1.1 Notification of an emergency may come from various routes, from the emergency services, local authority, local media or from the community itself. It is important to ensure the parish council has a procedure in place to record details of any incident and activate its emergency plan.

If details of an incident are received from a source other than the emergency services or local authority then the parish council member receiving the notification must contact the emergency services to ensure they are aware of the incident. This may require making a 999 call.

3.1.2 Do not assume that somebody has already taken action – it is better that the initial response is duplicated rather than no response is given at all.

1. Determine the level of the Emergency

 Major: the nature and extent of the emergency is such that the number and type of casualties/persons involved requires more than a normal level response

 Minor: a more localised incident where normal procedures are more likely to be adequate

2. Contact

 Major emergency: 999

 Minor emergency: 999 and relevant Emergency Services and/or Local Authorities (see contacts section)

3. Follow instructions given by the emergency services or local authority supported by information included in this plan
