The Emergency Planning Unit

Prepare, Respond, Protect

Hampshire County Council has an Emergency Planning Unit which draws up, maintains and reviews arrangements for dealing with major incidents. It co-ordinates responses across the council, and works closely with the county's emergency services and 11 district councils to ensure that the right people with the right skills are well-briefed and ready to react.

These few pages are designed to give an overview of the Unit's activities and role in making the County more resilient and how we work with partner organisations to achieve this.

We've also compiled some general information to help you:

• Prepare for an emergency

• Plan for a major event

• Prepare your business for an emergency

Specialist advice is always available from the local borough or district council where the event is taking place.
