Safer Cumbria - Community Safety Team needs Volunteers for emergency planning exercise
We need volunteers to help make sure we can keep your community safe in the event of an emergency.
If an emergency happened which meant you had to leave your home, local agencies would spring into action to open a Reception Centre where you and your family could shelter. However, to make sure we get this right we need to practise.
We are running a Reception Centre exercise at Barrow 6th Form College on Wednesday 9th July 2014 from 10.30am – 2.00pm to make sure our plans work.
If you are interested in playing the role of an evacuee please come along to Barrow 6th Form College on Rating Lane, Barrow-in-Furness between 10.15am and 1.15pm where you will be given information about your role. The exercise starts at 10.30am but you can come along at any time between 10.15am and 1.15pm.
Light refreshments will be provided and don’t worry, if you can’t stay for the whole exercise you will be free to leave after an hour or so.
Come along for a fun day – bring your kids and even your pets – see how a Reception Centre works and help keep your community safe.
