Just a Possible Worst-Case Scenario....

It is 0300 hours on the 4th January 201X. Twelve inches of snow had fallen in the previous 8 hours in hurricane force winds and had not only brought down Western Power’s electrical distribution system but had disrupted the mobile telephone network. If that wasn’t enough, a delayed-action, Islamist terrorist bomb, in a culvert by the Royal Naval Air Station, Culdrose had exploded at midnight and had closed the A3083 destroying the landline telephone links to Peninsula in the process. As far as road access to the Lizard Peninsula was concerned, the only access left was via Gweek, but that had traffic grid-lock on the diverted, snow-clad road. With the Village in darkness, without electrical power, with no communications worth thinking about, with the road between the Village Hall and the Wheel Inn closed by tree blow-down, with the Ford running fiercely at Nantithet, and with the Emergency Services concentrating their efforts at Culdrose, the Chairman of the Parish Council decided wisely to get on his tractor to drive over to tell the Parish Emergency Plan Coordinator to activate the Parish Emergency Plan. Now read on.....

THE EMERGENCY PLAN

INTRODUCTION

Why do we have an Emergency Plan? All major emergencies are dealt with by the Emergency Services, Local Authorities, Utilities and Voluntary Agencies in a combined response. In extreme conditions, it is possible that the Emergency Services may not be able to reach the scene or react immediately. In such circumstances, the initial response may rely entirely on local people coming forward as volunteers. The sorts of emergencies which we might have to contend with as a Parish include surface water flooding caused by the inability of land drainage systems and water courses to cope with heavy rain and run-off; utilities failures, particularly electrical power outages; severe weather, such as heavy snow; and human and animal disease outbreaks. This list is not exhaustive. Within recent living memory, the village has been isolated through unexpected severe weather events, and has had to look inwards for immediate support. It is for this reason that the Parish Council has developed this Emergency Plan, which aims to provide local support on the ground speedily, and when it is most needed, using known volunteers in a structured manner. The aim is to look after the welfare of people in the Parish and/or help to maintain our infrastructure. It does not replace the support provided by the Emergency Services, but supplements it at the early stages. It is designed to deal with events affecting the Parish or parts of the Parish so that we may recover from an emergency situation more quickly. It is not designed to deal with local emergencies affecting only one householder or when the Emergency Services are perfectly capable of dealing with the emergency without any formal Parish involvement.

Specific Risks to be taken into Consideration. There are no specific risks to the Parish that have been identified as needing planning in detail. The emergencies, which we as a Parish are likely to face, come under the ‘general’ category. If they occur, they are likely to come as a surprise. It is therefore up to everyone to use their initiative within the framework of this plan, when called upon to deploy. It should be noted that the houses in the Parish are well spread out: it is a drive of 9 Km between the dwellings at the extreme ends of the Parish, from Polgrean Farm to the Caretaker’s Flat on the Trading Estate.

PRINCIPLES OF THE PLAN

The Plan is based on a ‘worst case scenario’, with a defined centre of control/coordination and all key roles with nominated deputies for absence or illness. The Plan has to be simple to understand, so every volunteer knows in outline what they are responsible for, even if they have to use their own initiative to carry out their responsibilities in a safe manner. Some volunteers know every aspect of the Parish as they have lived here all their lives. Others do not. Accurate information flow is critical, for in an emergency, rumour easily overtakes facts. It is essential that accurate information is passed to the Emergency Coordinator in a timely manner otherwise a chaotic situation, where no one knows what is expected of them, is guaranteed to occur.

RISKS TO VOLUNTEERS

It is required that all volunteers will not put themselves at risk in helping others, so they do not themselves become casualties that need to be catered for by Parish resources to the detriment of other people. In terms of liability, the Parish Council's insurance policy provides

7 Cury Parish Council Emergency Plan Second Issue 7 April 2015

ADDRESSES AND CONTACT DETAILS ARE NOT FOR PUBLICATION ON A PUBLIC WEBSITE

Public Liability up to £10 million, Employers' Liability up to £10 million and includes Personal Accident cover for all Employees, Members and Volunteers working on behalf of the Parish Council. The use of chainsaws by specified volunteers requires a formal risk assessment to be in place to ensure their personal protective clothing and equipment, has been considered and documented.

ACTIVATION

The Emergency Plan may be activated by any Member of the Parish Council, the Emergency Services or Cornwall Council.

ROLES

General. Every key role played by an individual has a deputy to act in that individual’s absence on work, holiday or illness. When available, the Deputy assists the main role player to carry out his role.

Emergency Coordinator. The Emergency Coordinator is responsible for:

1. Writing, updating and disseminating the Plan. 2. Maintaining a confidential list of those members of the Parish, who have requested that they would like particular assistance in an emergency and ensuring that the Deputy Emergency Coordinator has a copy of this list held in a sealed envelope to be opened in his absence, if needed. 2. Putting the Plan into effect when necessary, and providing his/her home as a coordination centre. 3. As needed, deploying incident controllers, volunteers and wardens; and/or activating an emergency reception centre. 4. Acting as a focal point for the collection and dissemination of information. 5. Maintaining a log of events. The Sample Log Sheet is at Page 15. 6. Acting as a focal point for liaison with the Emergency Services. 7. Dealing with media enquiries. 8. Standing everyone down at the end of the Emergency. 9. Making an assessment of lessons learned when the emergency is over, with a view to updating the Plan.

Incident Controller(s). Incident control is the cornerstone of the Emergency Plan. The Incident controller(s) is/are responsible for:

1. At the request of the Emergency Coordinator, deploying to the incident or incidents on the ground. 2. Making an assessment of what, if any, resources are needed and assessing the risks involved. 3. Reporting the situation to the Emergency Coordinator and seeking any resources needed. 4. Managing the resources/volunteers in a safe manner. 5. Reporting progress back to the Emergency Coordinator as events take place.

Emergency Reception Centre Controller. The Emergency Reception Centre Controller is responsible for:

1. On request, gaining access to the chosen emergency reception centre: this will normally be the Village Hall but if the Hall is considered unsuitable for any reason, two other options - the Methodist Chapel and/or the Wheel Inn can be selected. Access Details are at Page 5. 2. Assessing the number of volunteers needed to man the reception centre, if that has not been carried out already. 3. Taking charge of the emergency reception centre and managing those requiring shelter or help.

Volunteers. Volunteers will be deployed by the Emergency Plan Controller and their roles are:

1. To help in any way as general helpers (List at Pages 10 and 11) including manning the Emergency Reception Centre. 2. To provide first aid etc as required, if on the First Aid List at Page 12. 3. To provide transport as required, if on the Transport List at Page 13. 4. To provide equipment and expertise as required, if on the Equipment List at Page 14.

Wardens. Nominated Wardens on Page 11 are drawn mostly from the General Helpers List and their Areas of Responsibility are identified in the Schematic Map of the Houses in the Parish at Page 17. If activated by the Emergency Plan Controller, they could be responsible for a number of tasks, which include those below. (Please note that roads with houses identified by a number as opposed to a name, eg at Parc Enys, are not given code numbers on the Decode List at Page 16.)

1. Calling on those members of the Parish, listed by the Emergency Coordinator as needing particular assistance in an emergency, and ensuring that they are well and, if, not, telling the Emergency Plan Coordinator what help is needed. This List is Confidential and is held by the Emergency Plan Coordinator, who will advise Wardens at the time. A second copy of this List is held in a sealed envelope by the Deputy Emergency Coordinator. 2. Acting as the eyes and ears of the Emergency Coordinator by monitoring any emergency situation or incident within their Area of Responsibility, without putting themselves at risk, and reporting it appropriately. 3. Activating Controllers or Volunteers in their Area of Responsibility, when there is a complete breakdown of telephone or electronic communication means. (This will necessarily mean that the Emergency Coordinator will mobilise a member from the Transport List to summon Wardens for a briefing at his/her home, which acts as the Emergency Coordination Centre.) 4. To contact and brief all householders in the Parish within their Area of Responsibility, if required to do so by the Emergency Plan Coordinator.

The tasks the Wardens are to undertake will be set by the Emergency Coordinator when they are activated.
