PARISH EMERGENCY PLANS

Many Parish Councils have their own excellent Emergency Plans and have had for many years.  However, if any of you do not have a current plan and would like to establish one, there is a Parish /Community Resilience Plan template for you to use, which you can adapt and expand to suit your own needs.  This plan template has updated following Parish Emergency Planning evenings.  There is now a completed Parish Emergency Plan for every Parish.   If you have any queries on the plan or your role in an emergency (see Guidance leaflet on right) do contact the Emergency Planning Team on

01376 552525 ext 2753 / 2675.

Please also visit the Emergency Planning web pages on this site via the "Advice and Emergencies" page.  You will be able to find the latest version of  Braintree District Council Emergency Plan (public version) on those pages.

These pages also hold valuable information and advice for the Public on responding to emergencies and in particular pages on Flooding.
