We make preparations to assist the emergency
services to cope with major disaster and to support the community
within North Somerset.
Through our Emergency Management Unit we concentrate on preparing
for
large-scale incidents such as wide-scale flooding, chemical
incidents, train crashes and coastal pollution.
We plan, prepare and conduct a wide range of specialist training
courses for both local authority and other agency staff.
This includes multi-agency exercises which test both our own and
other agency's emergency plans and procedures.
We are also responsible for identifying and minimising threats to
the operation of our business and information technologies.
We also promote this
business continuity management to the voluntary and business
communities across the district. |
