 COMMUNITY EMERGENCY PLAN

YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU!

In the event of a major emergency that affects the community of Sutton-in-Craven, such as flooding, the Community Emergency Plan will be put into action.

The Sutton-in-Craven Community Emergency Plan lays out the actions to be undertaken in an emergency by the Emergency Volunteers. This is not a replacement of any actions by the Emergency Services or Statutory Authorities, but rather an addition.

We need local people to help by volunteering. There are two Categories.

  • Local people who in times of need who are able to check in on and provide support to the more vulnerable in our village.
  • Local people who have equipment or a skill that may support a response to an emergency. This could include First Aid, cutting or lifting equipment, transport, 4x4 Vehicles, or being able to help provide or serve food and drink etc.

THESE EMERGENCIES ARE RARE OCCURRENCES SO IT ISN’T EXPECTED VOLUNTEERS WILL BE REGULARLY CALLED UPON. IT IS HOWEVER, REASSURING TO KNOW THAT SUPPORT IS THERE IF IT IS REQUIRED.

If you can help please contact us leaving your contact details and any information with regards to the two categories above:
