In the aftermath of a major incident many people will be affected. They may be survivors of the incident, relatives of these survivors or relatives of those who die as a result of the incident. They may be affected simply by being involved in the response.
The flooding page describes various types of flooding and tells you who to contact to report a problem.
Major emergencies occasionally happen. The Emergency Response Planning Team keeps, and regularly reviews, plans in readiness to respond to major emergencies in the borough 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
