Role of Local Authorities
In response to a major emergency, local authorities will, as far as possible:
• assist the Emergency Services;
• help the victims;
• maintain services;
• protect the environment; and
• work with others to restore normality.
Each department plans their response to a disaster through an extension of the work they normally undertake, consideration of the above aims and specialist assistance from the Suffolk Joint Emergency Planning team.
Community Resilience
With increasing numbers of residents in the county wishing to play a greater part in how emergencies are managed in their community, both by the community itself and by the emergency services when they arrive, the new website http://www.getpreparednow.co.uk/ offers quick and easy access to various tools and documents to make local emergency planning easier.
