Community Emergency Plan

Dear Resident, Community Emergency Plan Patrington Parish Council is in the process of preparing a basic emergency plan, so that as a community we can help ourselves if something were to happen in our parish. Checking on vulnerable people, collecting provisions and prescriptions, helping move property and furniture, providing shelter, warmth and food and drinks are the kind of things that we think we can do to help people affected by the emergency. PLEASE NOTE: An Emergency being defined as ‘The Risk of Loss of Life or Injury to a Person’. We are writing to ask your help. Would you be willing to help out during an emergency? Do you have any particular skills or equipment that you think might be of use? Do you belong to a community group that might be able to help during an emergency, such as luncheon groups or crèches? If the answer is yes – and you would like to do something to help your community – we would very much like to hear from you. Please complete the form attached to this letter, or visit our website patringtonpc.co.uk or give The Clerk – Diane Chapman a call. There are no obligations on anyone that volunteers – it will just mean that we may call you in an emergency to ask if you are free to help. We would also like to hear from you if you think you might need support during an emergency. Please complete the form on the back of this letter, and we will do our best to contact you in an emergency to see if you are ok. Thank you in advance. Patrington Parish Council
