  • Alderbury Parish Council EMERGENCIES
    December 2018 Alderbury Parish Council Joanne Kyles – Parish Clerk – 01722 238 476– [email protected] EMERGENCIES - WHO CAN HELP? Introduction The aim of this guide is to list human and material resources likely to be of assistance to householders in an emergency in the Parish of Alderbury. Emergencies can be totally unforeseen situations. Many, however, can be anticipated and householders can use this guide to help with pre-planning for possible events. These could include – extreme weather; communications interruption; industrial hazards; transport issues; fire risks, etc. In the event of an emergency affecting a large portion of the community, the Parish Chair (Elaine Hartford), and Parish Councillors Barry Sloan and Michael Considine, assisted by the Parish Clerk, will assume the role of coordinators. (see 8 below) Contents 1. Emergency Contacts 2. First at the Scene – CHALETS Procedure 3. Emergency Action Checklist 4. Utilities and Organisations 5. Medical 6. Flooding Advice 7. Radio and TV Broadcasts, Alderbury Residents Facebook page, Village website 8. Plan Holders’ contact details 9. Log Sheet 1) Emergency Contacts Police/ Fire/ Ambulance/ Coastguard Dial 999 or 112 Police – Non-emergency Dial 101 It is worth remembering the 112 number for emergencies as it works throughout Europe, the UK and most of the USA, and is being adopted as the universal emergency number. 999 still works in the UK, but often 101 will be more appropriate. 2) First at the Scene Should you be the first to arrive at the scene of an incident, it is imperative you do not attempt to help without first assessing the scene and providing relevant information to the emergency services.

Service Licences are the core of the BBC’s governance system. They aim to provide certainty for audiences and stakeholders about what each BBC service should provide. The Trust uses service licences as the basis for its performance assessment and as the basis for its consideration of any proposals for change to the UK public services from the BBC Executive. A service may not change in a way that breaches its service licence without Trust approval. The Trust presumes that any proposed change to a stated Key Characteristic of a licence will require it to undertake a Public Value Test. Should it decide not to carry out a Public Value Test before approving any such change, then it must publish its reasons in full. This Service Licence covers all BBC Local Radio stations in England. Each of the 39 stations is described in Annex II of this licence Part I: Key characteristics of the service 1. Remit The remit of BBC Local Radio is to provide a primarily speech-based service of news, information and debate to local communities across England. Speech output should be complemented by music.

  • Householders' Guide for Emergencies
    Householders’ guide for emergencies November 2010 1 Coping with emergencies 999 When you dial 999 the first person to answer will be an operator who will ask which service you require and your telephone number because, if the line is cut, or you are unable to continue the call, the operator can trace where you are and send the emergency services to your assistance. Only use the 999 number for a genuine emergency. If you need more than one emergency service, ask for the most important one first and then make sure you tell the operator which other service(s) is required. For instance, if the emergency is a fire then request Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service but bear in mind you may also need Police and Ambulance. The operator may well refer the information to the other services anyway, but it is better safe than sorry. November 2010 2 Dealing with an emergency The one thing you can be sure of in an emergency situation is that it will probably be the last thing you expected. Floods, severe weather, accidents or incidents involving dangerous chemicals usually strike without warning. This leaflet aims to explain some simple steps everyone can take to be ready when an emergency strikes. It explains easy safety measures, how to reduce damage to property and what to do if you have to move out of your home until danger has passed. This simple guide aims to help people cope with the unexpected and assist the emergency services in dealing quickly and efficiently with major emergencies.

  • If You Are in Immediate Danger Or Emergency Call
    Froxfield Parish Community Emergency Plan Plan updated September 2016 If you are in immediate danger or emergency call 999 Most emergencies dealt with by the emergency services will not require additional support, although first aid to an individual could save a life. The Government requires that Parish Councils put in place an Emergency Plan for when there is a major situation and if the emergency responders have requested assistance from the local community. The situations The P.C. was asked to cover in the emergency plan include a serious accident on local roads, motorway, or the rail network. Major outages, disconnection of electric/gas supply or leak. Major fuel shortages; chemical spills and aviation crash. Major health risk or pandemic; severe weather conditions with potential to disrupt and hinder services and put residents at risk. The Froxfield Community Emergency Plan can be instigated by the Emergency Services contacting the Emergency Committee, or the Emergency Committee recognising a situation where there is a risk to the residents and visitors. Unfortunately, the Emergency Plan cannot cover individual problems and these should be dealt with in the normal way. Contained herein some useful household information. If you feel you would like to volunteer should there be a major emergency please let one of your Parish Councillors/Committee members know and we will add you to the Volunteer’s list. As with any major emergency we hope it will never happen, but by being prepared the Committee can call upon various organisations/individuals with the aim to support and help the emergency services. The full Emergency Plan document has been distributed as below Name Role Phone number/email address Telephone Head of Public TBC Protection – Sarah Kelly, Wilts Council [email protected] [email protected] Emergency Planning Officer PC.
