Community Emergency Plan
The Parish Council has started to put together a Parish Community Emergency Plan to be activated in events such as adverse weather, a lengthy power cut, trees down blocking road access etc. to provide help to residents if the Emergency services’ response is delayed.
​
We are looking to develop the Emergency Plan with help from residents and would like to start building a list of volunteers who may have the skills to help in an emergency - for example you may be able to use a chainsaw to remove a fallen tree, have a 4x4 vehicle or you may be able to go and check on vulnerable people or a neighbour and collect supplies for them.
​
If you would be willing to volunteer please email or phone Debra Roberts, Parish Clerk on clerk@feockparishcouncil.gov.uk or 01872 863333 with your contact details and skills you can offer.
​
We will soon be holding meetings for volunteers to discuss how the plan could work and get their input.
​
Information we are aware of during such events as a storm or powercut are shared on our Facebook page (you can view this on the right of this page). The first points of contact for residents in an emergency are listed below. The Parish Council shares information where it can for residents information but does not receive updates from the utility companies or Cornwall Council nor does it have any priority access to the utility companies to be able to report issues. Residents should report issues such as powercuts or trees down directly to the utility company or Cornwall Council.
