Free Emergency Planning Event – Richmond

December 15, 2017 @ 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm

  • « Craven District: Voluntary & Community Sector Network free event
  • York: Grantseeker’s Guide to Evaluation »

Community First Yorkshire’s FREE emergency planning event for your community

Free Event – BOOK ONLINE NOW

Has your community suffered from flooding, extreme weather, fire or any kind of emergency?

Are you worried about how your community might cope if it did?

Come along to our Emergency Planning Information Event

Date and time: Friday 15 December 12.30pm – 3pm

Location: Richmond Town Hall, Market Place, Richmond DL10 4QL

Why do you need an emergency plan?

Emergency Plans can cover anything from designating a community building as a refuge centre, recruiting volunteers to check on vulnerable residents or identifying the owners of useful vehicles. They equip community leaders to organise an effective response to an emergency, and help local residents to understand what they need to do should the worst happen.

We are working with North Yorkshire County Council’s Community Resilience Team to help rural communities across the county put vital Emergency Plans in place.

At our Emergency Planning Information event you will:

  • Find out more about what is involved in creating a Community Emergency Plan
  • Hear about the expert support that is available to help you
  • Learn from communities who have gone through the process themselves.

There will be an opportunity for you to ask any questions you have, and we will be updating you on our work to help individual households put their own Emergency Plans together.

Who should attend?

Community leaders and parish council members, or anyone interested in ensuring their community is prepared in the event of an emergency of any kind.

We would welcome representatives of any groups who have already developed a Community Emergency Plan and would be willing to speak about their experience of it at the event – please get in touch!

Booking details

The event is completely free and light refreshments will be included. To help us with catering arrangements, please book a place online, email our Emergency Planning Officer, James Russell, or call 01904 704 177. Please contact us if you have any specific dietary or access requirements that we should know about.
