SKEGNESS TOWN COUNCIL REPORT TO: DIRECTION & STRATEGY 26TH SEPTEMBER 2018 BY: DEPUTY TOWN CLERK SUBJECT: Emergency Plan PURPOSE: To establish how an emergency plan should be developed and to identify prospective attendees for training. 1 BACKGROUND 1.1 In June 2017 this committee resolved to develop an emergency plan that is then to be put on the risk register and monitored by the B&R committee. It was also resolved that training on Emergency Planning takes place and following from that the emergency planning team is appointed from full Council. 1.2 Little progress has been made on the plan, LCC has been in contact with an updated template for the emergency plan and re-iterated the need to have this in place in the event of an emergency. 1.3 Training is available from LALC on developing Community Emergency Plans with an aim to support Councils to establish, manage and operate a plan. This training is available 1:30pm till 4pm on 29th November 2018 at Mablethorpe. 1.4 Appendix A contains a copy of the updated Emergency Plan Template. This sets out the information that needs to be collected and how the Council should organise itself. This document is supported by a resource directory Appendix B. Both documents have been recently updated Appendix B is a confidential document. 1.5 The Town Clerk, Deputy Town Clerk and Cllr D Cargill have attended Emergency Planning Training. Cllr T Burnham attended the resilient communities conference in July 2018. 2 TAKING THIS FORWARD 2.1 After training has been well attended the Emergency Planning team can be appointed (providing enough volunteers from Council come forward), the plan can then be completed, approved and submitted. 2.2 The Emergency Plan and associated Resource Directory will need to be reviewed at least annually, ideally at the start of the new Council year. 2.3 This Committee should consider the resources required to prepare and review the plan and whether there is an appetite within Council to attend training and take up the volunteer positions needed for the plan. 3 RECOMMENDATIONS 3.1 To identify availability to attend emergency planning training and consider how to move forward with the Emergency Plan.
