Developing Community Resilience Plans Ballater Community Resilience Group 9 February 2016 Colin Gray – Emergency Planning Officer

Community Resilience is defined by the Scottish Government as: “Communities and individuals harnessing resources and expertise to help themselves prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies, in a way that complements the work of the emergency responders.”  

Some examples of emergencies: Severe weather Floods Extended loss of utilities Fires Major incidents involving transport Community awareness and pre-planning will make it easier to cope with and recover from an emergency

Purpose of a Community Resilience Plan Identify and consider key local risks pre-agreed activation and communication arrangements pre-identified local venues for community emergency hubs contact details for key holders for these venues pre-prepared list of volunteers and contact details liaise with emergency services

Risk Assessment Generic risks: Severe Weather, Flooding, Utility failure, Major Fire Specific risks: Local potentially hazardous sites, major transport incidents

Contact local venues and confirm participation Consider specific local risks Research generic risk details (gritting routes, flood maps etc) Take advice from emergency planning officers Consider activation/communication/support options Prepare draft plan (minimise photographs as restrict ability to send by email). Publicise the plan locally Test the plan
