Emergency Planning
Assistance in an Emergency – Community Plan
You may have noticed a recent request for volunteers relating to the North Muskham Emergency Plan and many thanks to all those that have volunteered. Clearly this is something we hope to never have to initiate!
As part of the plan, the Parish Council (PC) are trying to compile a list of individuals that might need various levels of assistance in an emergency. Whilst the emergency services and local county councils are the primary responders there may still be immediate local assistance required in helping evacuating or providing other assistance during an emergency. It may even be just a case of communicating and reassuring individuals - This was found to be the case during the floods last year.
If you feel that you might need assistance then please submit the simple form overleaf. Due to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) the individuals themselves need to put their names forward rather than be nominated. If you are aware of someone that you think would need assistance, could you please speak to them and ask them to complete and sign the form.
People may be vulnerable for a specific period of time ie after an operation etc. This scenario can also be included by letting us know at any time and you will be added to the list for the period you specify.
Some will remember the successful buddy system that was set up during the covid epidemic and the organisers have agreed to repeat should the need ever occur again.
The forms will be held securely by a very small number of individuals and only used during a genuine emergency.
The PC will do their best to organise local assistance and guidance but this cannot be guaranteed and should not be relied on as a primary source of support. The PC cannot be liable for any damages or breakages should they be asked to help move furniture or other items or in any other way.
