The number of major disasters that have occurred in this country and abroad during recent years, reinforce the need for and importance of emergency preparedness. This borough, together with the emergency services, plans and exercises to ensure that in the event of such emergencies we can respond and support each other appropriately.
For a central source of information for Londoners, particularly relating to
emergencies and disasters visit the London Prepared website
www.londonprepared.gov.uk.
The borough's Emergency Plan exists to provide guidelines and information for Directors and Managers who may be called upon to organise and co-ordinate the response of the borough to a major emergency in its area or, indeed, within any of the boroughs in North West London with which it is grouped in a Mutual Aid Scheme.
The borough and the emergency services work to the following definition of a major emergency:
"A major incident or natural disaster resulting in either death, injury or serious disruption to normal life and likely to overwhelm a Council's services whilst operating under normal conditions. In such circumstances specific mobilisation and co-ordination of resources and assistance of other boroughs may be required."
