116/08 Community Emergency Plan for the Parish of Martock
The Chairman of the Emergency Management Team, Christopher Price,
presented a draft Emergency Plan (Issue No 2) for consideration.
He reminded the Council that the original Plan (Issue 1) had been
published in Oct 07 and that this had been followed by a Parish
Council tabletop exercise in Dec 07 set against an extreme weather
scenario.
He reiterated that the overall responsibility in the event of
an emergency rested with
Somerset County Council but that it was prudent that the Parish
Council should have its own Emergency Plan; it had a moral obligation,
a duty of care to help where it could.
There followed a discussion during which it was
confirmed that the Parish Hall would remain the primary emergency
rest centre
in the event of an emergency. In order to ensure that parishioners
were aware of the plan it was further agreed that the Parish Council
would arrange for elements of the Emergency Plan and associated
leaflets to be available at the police stand at the Martock Church
Fete in June 2009. A piece would also be placed on the Martock
web site.
Action: 081029/1: Christopher Price After further discussion it was agreed there should be a run through
of the Plan prior to a meeting of the Parish Council on 7th January
2009.
Afternote:
This date has been amended and the run through will take place
on 28 January 2009 at 6pm.
