  • 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.

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.

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.
