Emergency Plan

The Parish Council are in the process of creating a Chieveley Parish Emergency Plan. To do this we are inviting people to complete a questionnaire so we can identify the skills and knowledge people have to offer in the event of an emergency.

Nearly all emergencies affecting our community will be dealt with routinely by an integrated multi agency response.  However, a situation could occur (such as extensive flooding, storm damage, deep snow, long term power cut or major incident) which could delay the arrival of outside assistance due to services being overwhelmed, when our community will need to help itself.  

The Emergency Plan Questionnaire Form can be downloaded here  Please email it to the Parish Clerk when completed.   

Thank you for your support.
