Parish Emergency Plan - can you help if needed?

Tue 13 Aug, 15:16

Nearly all emergencies affecting the community will be dealt with routinely by joint response of the emergency services, local authorities and the major utilities. However, there may be occasions when the arrival of outside assistance is delayed, and the community will need to help itself.

Charlbury Town Council is putting together a Parish Emergency Plan to provide contacts and a basic framework for managing the initial stages of a major emergency that may threaten the safety and welfare of the community, its people and property. It is not the intention of this plan to replace in any way help from the recognised emergency services.

In this (very unlikely) event, do you have resources or skills that could help?

We are looking for people with the following who would be willing to step forward if needed:

Tractor/digger

Lifting gear

Inflatable boat/ Canoes

Wheelbarrow

Petrol driven Pump

Four wheel drive vehicles

Emergency lighting:

Torches

Portable LED Work Light

Tripod Mounted Double LED Lights

Camp beds

Emergency supply of petrol

We also need a local electrician.

Your name would be on the publicly available Emergency Plan but your contact details would only be available to the Emergency Management Team.

If you have any of the above and are willing to be called upon in an emergency please contact Lisa.

Thank you.
