Mission Statement

6 Community Emergency Planning Template Version 8 December 2018 LCC EP&BC out of Hours Emergency Line 01413 979363

Disasters or major emergencies can strike suddenly, unexpectedly and anywhere. Making a plan now will reduce the impact of any emergency on our community and help ensure our response is effective and proportionate.

The purpose of this Community Emergency Plan is to help prepare the community to be ready for an emergency, in case the emergency services and/or relevant authority support are delayed due to the scope and nature of the emergency. This will be achieved by building resilience within the community, using our existing resources in the most efficient and successful way. Our aim is to provide expertise and voluntary support that is safe and proportionate within Horncastle boundaries that enhance that of responding agencies

This Community Emergency Plan has been agreed and signed as fit for purpose – acting as a living document - by the Chairperson of the Parish Council, the Community Emergency Team Leader and/or their Assistant.

Section 1

Using this Emergency Plan

This plan comes in two parts and has been developed to assist your community in an emergency. It should be used as a tool to focus your response to aiding the welfare of your community.

Activation

This Plan will be activated when at least two members from the below list of people drawn from the Emergency Planning Group consider it necessary to take action in response to an incident, and when action cannot be taken effectively without triggering the arrangements outlined in this document. If it is activated, then the key actions in Section 2 should be followed. It should also be noted that this operational plan should be read and used in conjunction with the Community Resource Directory, if one has been developed.

Emergency Planning Group members who can activate the Plan:

Chairperson of Town Council/Emergency Planning Leader – Brian Burbidge

Deputy Emergency Planning Team Leader – Bill Aron

Volunteer Briefing

Before deploying volunteers, all should receive briefings as to the current and expected situation and advised as to what is expected of them before they are mobilised. All volunteers have the legal responsibility to take reasonable care for their own Health and Safety and that of others that may be affected by their actions. Any incidents or hazards should be immediately reported back to the community emergency planning coordinator, recorded and then forwarded onto the LCC EP&BC duty officer.

Briefings Template

 Situation Awareness – following the ETHANE Framework (page 11) brief all volunteers on the current situation. Frequency of updating – agree a frequency of updating volunteers.

 Expectations - what are your expectations as a coordinating group of your volunteers and when, how will this be relayed to them? If being directed by LCC EP&BC what is expected for the entire group; for example, the setting up and managing of a place of safety. As a coordinating group do you know the expectations of your volunteers?

 Tasks - brief volunteers on specific tasks that they will be allocated, for example, door knocking, meet and greet etc

 Times – how long will volunteers be expected to undergo tasking? Is there a rota system in place?

 Welfare – what provisions are available to volunteers undertaking tasks , for example, refreshments, meals, breaks etc. what other support is available to them, e.g mentoring, physiological support etc.

 Communication - how will volunteers communicate with the coordinating group, each other and those people who they are supporting?

 Safeguarding – Safeguarding is the action of protecting people’s health, welfare and human rights, enabling them to live free from abuse, harm and neglect. Everyone has a role to play in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of any child, young person or adult at risk that they may come into contact with. If a volunteer has concerns surrounding safeguarding issues they should report it immediately to their coordinator who in turn will notify LCC EP & BC. Safeguarding is there to protect you as well – please adhere to best practice. A copy of the LCC safeguarding brief for volunteers is held within the place of safety pack.

 Reporting incidents & Accidents – how this is achieved and who is responsible for it? an accident form is held within the place of safety pack.

 Stand down – who will make this decision and how will this be communicated to all volunteers?
