Simple steps
Simple community emergency plans are designed to identify:
- a coordination/meeting point (e.g. village hall).
- short-term safe refuge places for people displaced from their homes.
- emergency volunteers.
- useful emergency equipment.
- vulnerable people in the community.
- useful emergency contacts.
NYLRF has a simple template and assistance to produce these.
Many communities already have plans in place but it is one of NYLRF priorities to significantly increase this number and the level of preparedness.

If your community has a plan (or is work in progress) then speak to your parish/town council as they will no doubt be looking for volunteers to help them.
If you want to get your community prepared first double check with your parish/town council to ensure work is not already planned then contact your local emergency planning team for more information.
