Local Services Pg 10-11 Page 2 of 12 Parish Council News WEST HADDON EMERGENCY PLANNING – PART 1 Earlier this year the Executive Officer asked the Parish Council to consider establishing an emergency plan for West Haddon. Little did the Council appreciate that less than 2 months later a public health emergency would impact not just West Haddon but, indeed, the country and world and, as a result, face to face meetings were postponed in favour of online meetings. We are now conversant with online meetings and able to continue business from the comfort of our own homes which should, hopefully, allow for increased engagement from our community members. As we now find ourselves fast approaching the winter and potentially the impact of more frequent extremes of weather, as well as continuing to battle the invisible enemy known so well to us all now as Covid 19, it is more evident than ever that the Council and West Haddon must ensure it is as resilient as it can be for future situations. An emergency can include fire; traffic accident; act of terrorism; medical emergency; strike; utility failure; contamination; flood; extreme weather, the list goes on and on. Obviously, there are agencies that deal with certain emergencies e.g. police, fire, ambulance who should always be the first contact for action and advice as required.

As a community we can also help ourselves and become more resilient in these times when emergency services are becoming more and more stretched to assist the national effort in tackling the public health emergency so, with this in mind, as Executive Officer to the Council, I am asking for your support by asking if you would be interested and willing to join a West Haddon Emergency & Resilience Team with the objective of • identifying risks to our community • response and actions • resources within the West Haddon community available and willing to assist during an emergency • identifying vulnerable people in the West Haddon community • understanding how to activate a plan if and when required.
