Evacuation

Any decision to evacuate an area is taken by the police.

In the event of an emergency we would encourage you to stay with relatives or friends where possible and inform the police so you can be accounted for.

However, when evacuation is necessary the police will issue you with instructions after consultation with other agencies.

If you need help in an evacuation you will be assisted by the emergency services or by us and moved to a place of safety.

When evacuated you should take the following items with you where possible:

  • Change of warm clothing
  • Toiletries
  • Medicines
  • Special foods
  • Important documents and useful telephone numbers
  • Baskets, cages and leads for pets

On arrival at a temporary shelter please tell staff of any special requirements you may need and arrangements will be made.
