Community Emergency Planning

Sedgwick Community Emergency Plan

The aim of a Community Emergency Plan is to increase the resilience of a local community before, during and after emergencies and to link to and support local and regional structures already established by the Emergency Services, and local and district councils.

Sedgwick has developed a Community Emergency Plan to help minimise the impact of a major local emergency on residents.

In event of a major emergency, contact our

Emergency contact numbers:

In an emergency always

Dial 999

TELL THE OPERATOR WHICH

EMERGENCY SERVICE YOU REQUIRE

FIRE, POLICE, AMBULANCE, COASTGUARD,

CAVE RESCUE, MOUNTAIN RESCUE

Use 999 when someone is in danger, a crime is in

progress or a suspect is nearby.

If you need to call 999

PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME AMBULANCES, FIRE ENGINES AND OTHER EMERGENCY VEHICLES MAY BE TOO LARGE TO PASS UNDER SEDGWICK AQUEDUCT

This has been the case for some time and we have been reassured us that all local emergency teams are familiar with the height and width restrictions in our area.

However, if you do have to call the Emergency Services, it seems sensible to make doubly sure they know which side of the aqueduct a vehicle is needed.

Dial 101

to contact your local police if a situation is not an immediate emergency

Household Emergency Plans

The ability of a community to respond to and recover from emergencies is closely linked to how well individuals and households can respond. We also strongly recommend residents to make their own Household Emergency Plans

It is in word format so you can edit it for your own home.
