Can we cope in a crisis? Testing our resilience as a community
What would happen if we had to cope with a major weather event or other incident that stretched our emergency services? Could we help each other for a while until professional support arrived? This is scenario that a group of volunteers (in conjunction with the Parish Council and Cheshire West and Chester Council) have been investigating for a year or more. The result is a draft Community Emergency Plan that identifies village groups and resources that that we could call on in an emergency. On 21 November we shall be testing the robustness of our plan by using a tabletop training exercise with the help of the Fire Service, Police, NHS and Snow Angels and the Joint Cheshire Emergency Planning Team.
We believe that other groups could play a key role in helping in a crisis and you are invited to attend and participate in the exercise. It should be interesting and fun
