Emergency Contingency Plan
Probus Parish Council is in the process of drafting the
Community Emergency Plan
Local emergency plans are designed to prepare residents and local communities for situations where emergency services may face delays in responding or are unable to reach the scene immediately as a result of extreme weather or healthcare crisis.
The plans empower communities to take coordinated action in the initial stages of an emergency, providing a framework for how to manage essential tasks such as evacuation, first aid, and communication with authorities. By identifying local resources and key contacts, communities can help reduce the immediate impact of a crisis while waiting for professional help to arrive.
The plans will contain contact details of people who can provide assistance in an emergency. This would only be in a major emergency, when the plan would be activated by Cornwall Council. Contact details would not be made public and the plan is kept in a secure area at County Hall and only available to their emergency staff, emergency services and plan co-ordinators.
The council is seeking volunteers who can provide their services in times of emergency. If you have skills, resources or equipment that can be useful, please consider offering your support. An example of useful skills or service may include specialised training (such as medical or firefighting), heavy duty machinery, plant and 4x4 vehicles, access to the community halls etc.
