Emergency Plan
In recent years, we have seen a number of dangerous wildfires on the commons surrounding Churt.
​
This Emergency Plan has been initiated by the Parish Council in order that, in the event of any type of emergency occurring in the settlement of Churt, with a population currently around 1300, there is a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the various support agencies, and a plan to enlist local people to help others in the community.
​
The plan aims to provide a framework for the Parish Council Emergency Sub-Committee and Councillors on the procedure to be followed in response to an emergency or major incident. Its objectives are:
-
to establish a local emergency management structure
-
to give an overview of roles and responsibilities
-
to identify available community resources Ęą personnel, equipment and emergency accommodation.
