Welcome to the Cleveland Emergency Planning
Unit’s website.
The Unit provides an emergency planning service to the four local
authorities in the former Cleveland area. Our role is to ensure the local
authorities are prepared to respond to emergencies and to support the
emergency services and the community. To this end we maintain and test the
Major Incident Plan for each authority.
Contingency plans are prepared for a range of hazards in our community
including large scale events, industrial accidents and flooding in
cooperation with organisations such as businesses, the Environment Agency,
volunteer groups and the emergency services. This website gives an
introduction to our work, our aims, objectives, mission statement as well as
advice on Business Continuity and what to do in the event of an incident. If
you can't find what you need on the website or if you have any comments or
queries please use the feedback page or contact us directly via
phone/e-mail.
The Unit also incorporates the Emergency Planning Officers from Cleveland Police, Cleveland Fire Brigade and the North East Ambulance Service making it a unique arrangement. This approach ensures strong partnership working with excellent co-operation and sharing of information.
Recent Event
On the 11th November 2008 staff from the four Borough Council's across Cleveland attended a useful emergency planning training event held and facilitated at the Emergency Planning College at Easingwold in York. The aim was to provide an overview of local authority civil protection duties and how they might plan for the large scale evacuation and shelter of members of the community. The event was well attended and included a number of scenarios for discussion by each Council.
