Chalgrave Parish Council

Emergency Plan

• The Chalgrave Emergency Plan is information about the resources and contacts within the Parish should there be an emergency. The Plan is for the Emergency Services to know what resources we have in the Parish and who to contact.  The Chalgrave Emergency Plan is not intended to be a substitute for these services.

• If there is an emergency, the first point of contact is the Emergency Services. They will refer to our Emergency Plan and contact the Plan Co-ordinator and Response Team.

• If there is a major Emergency it will be managed by the Police, Fire and Rescue Services, the Ambulance Service and Central Beds Council. Other authorities such as the Environment Agency might be involved. It will be for the Emergency Services and major authorities, not the Parish Council, to inform the Emergency Response Team and residents what to do and where to go in an emergency.

• The Emergency Plan Response Team includes Paul Whitton, Barbara Jackson and Debbie Levy. The Plan Co-ordinator is Phil Parry.

• If it is a local emergency within the Parish such as a prolonged power cut, disruption to water supply, severe storms, the impact of a pandemic, etc. there will be a need for the involvement of local people who are most likely to know who is at risk and/or in need.

• During the Coronavirus Pandemic, the Response Team have been the contacts for help. They have checked on residents in the Parish, have done shopping for those who could not get out and collected medicines.
