was good Rugby this weekend

Beverley Griffiths replied to April S
the idea is that they are easily accessible protected so you can use them immediately. during flooding or any home disaster having cleaning product's to clean and secure possession has been one of the key learning from most disasters

Beverley Griffiths replied to Pam H
it is a fascinating area that has come to our understanding with the last few years. solar flares can cause problems with our communication systems: meteors small or big can take down our space communications and cause impacts. there is lots on line. try this site.

Beverley Griffiths replied to Heather Morris
there are recovery organisations, but a back up some where like cloud or elsewhere.

Beverley Griffiths replied to carmel collins
perhaps hold copies somewhere. but the local council should be able to help or bank

Panic is very rare. much of what you see if a core human system of flight or Fight. Most people are trying to escape.

Beverley Griffiths replied to Paul T
Paul i would happily discuss anything you need to support you offline

Beverley Griffiths replied to Nicky Allen
Great ideas the hide part in attack incident is important. The get out equally if fire. All buildings must have refuge areas for you to go to in fire. Ask about what they will do for you, so you can help them help you. Most safety officers would be pleased to work with you.
-
Beverley Griffiths replied to Nicky Allen
Nicky i wish i could do more, i have raised it to those who did the run hide tell. they said there was plans, but yet to come to fruision. having worked in a previous career with many disabilities, there are as you suggest many diffierent realities one solution will not fit all. However they are often the most resourceful and determined people i have ever met...
-
Beverley Griffiths replied to Nicky Allen
Caitlin is right under Health and safety and Fire regulations, there is a need for buildings to provide a safe location/refuge. @NickyAllen @CaitlinC
-
Beverley Griffiths replied to Pat G
Great thanks for these. The USA has some great resources.
-
I'm sorry we will get on to that right away
-
Beverley Griffiths replied to Nicky Allen
Nicky your right there is not much out there, which is specfic. It is planned for amongst professionals. The generic advise is general applicable to all. Ask where the idenitified places are in public buildings, at home ensure you have phone numbers to hand, usually most councils have phone line to call in times of need. Is there more you would want?

Beverley Griffiths replied to yanyun zhang
I have asked but unfortunately it is Utube based@yanyunzhang

Beverley Griffiths replied to Nicky Allen
I have asked and there is a plan to do one, but it has not yet made the recording yet. They hope it will be soon.

Beverley Griffiths replied to José Marques
In the UK there are many departments delaing with terrrorism. They work together with each other and the community to deal with the different areas. The Police lead mainly but with the community support.

Beverley Griffiths replied to David Brown
that brilliant, i love it. great fun

Beverley Griffiths replied to yanyun zhang
i think it is a u-tube based film. this is the link https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/stay-safe-film
i will try and find another source -
Ian. Not sure if i get what you want from me. Your right many people have a problem with the definitions, However we have a Piece of Legislation the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, and its supporting guidance which gives us the definitions, and so we stay with them for the course.
-
Beverley Griffiths replied to Deborah H
Hello, this course is aimed at public. it is useful for any organisation to have all its staff more prepared personally, to then support work in times of need also. I hope it is not too much, as it is all from the National UK risks. if you need more support let me know we can take it offline.
-
Beverley Griffiths replied to J P Lynch
Different age groups certainly have different thresholds and requirements. as a Mum of a teenage (just!) i know the pain of the wifi. i do think though if a longer emergency occurs, they would join in and support the wider family/community support. i hope!
-
Beverley Griffiths replied to J P Lynch
That is a shame about the lack of information, but you sound like your well on your way with your local historical information of finds out your own local risks.
-
Beverley Griffiths replied to Howard Kerr
Howard your right, the principles hold true and they will help you prepare where ever you live in the World.
-
Beverley Griffiths replied to David V
David, i see your point. Have a look at the National Risk Register and local Risk Registers, coming up in the next steps. Theses are based on facts from government departments. If your still not convinced, being prepared for things like house fire, family illness, loss of work is all still planning for these consequences of loss. It is still important to be...

Beverley Griffiths replied to Deborah H
Deborah, the word does change, but it shows no signs of changing fast, that your extinct volcano may be active again. however there are plenty of other real risk you can plan for. keep going and find out more.

Beverley Griffiths replied to David Brown
great do not underestimate where water will go! however contact your local council they can help with flood warden schemes, whcih you can help with.
-
Beverley Griffiths replied to Jane Kelly
great thoughts. do not underestimate, flooding can occur anywhere, pipes or over spill occur even on tops of hills, water goes up, where ever it can, if your the highest point it might be where it comes out as it has nowhere else to go..
-
Hopefully this step by step will encourage people to think and plan, if the outcome is better prepared, then it is all we can ask. if it leads to more volunteers and local support then great. agree with the quote we use it all the time, but planning is usauuly for an end goal or product..
-
This is a worry to many, many councils are getting local Defibrillators in local shops/pubs etc and getting training for the local community. There is a step at the end of the course on what you can do! get in touch with the council and Emergency planners there and see how you can help in your community?

Beverley Griffiths replied to Ian T
great information Ian, this all comes up later, but a great link to your local RR. hope you enjoy and please come back to me.

Andrew, gosh there is a lot in here. I think you want the last paragraph answering, if there is more just reply and I will answer.
As you go through the course a lot of this will be answered. 2.14 especially about the UK preparedness.
So, to answer the military do work with the civilian authorities when requested. Also, voluntary sector has an important role... -

Thanks everyone, I'm glad it has helped you all. even if it has just made you reflect and change one thing or talk to your family then it has done its job. I do hope you do complete your plans though. Please feel free to connect through linked in or through the EPC.

there are community alarms systems your local authority / health care providers or even commerical providers have. it used to be a necklace, but with technology this may have changed.

goodness what experiences you have had. Japan does have some good emergency planning and exercises for the public for earthquakes. I do hope our course helps you personally. please do ask if you want questions answered.

Beverley Griffiths replied to Anto Cado

great i hope it is? let us know?

Although you thought your role was minimal, I'm sure it would have been a apart of a wider resilience for your organisation. every member of staff forms a link in the front line for anay organisation to either protect the organisation or respond for the orrgansation.

James thank you so much for your kind words and your participation through out. I hope your share your enjoyment with others?
