How to get started

Community resilience measures can be as little as designating a point of contact in the parish.

The contact will receive warnings and messages from emergency services and local authorities.

The plan can grow over time to include areas such as:

• An emergency team.
• Community buildings which can be used as emergency evacuation facilities.
• Knowledge of skills and expertise in the community.
• Knowledge of special equipment or vehicles in the community.
• Identification of vulnerable premises and people in the local area.
• Specific actions based on specific risks.
