Hilton Emergency Plan INTRODUCTION Hilton Parish Council (PC) has sponsored this Emergency Plan to detail the arrangements and initial actions, agreed in conjunction with the village Neighbourhood Watch (NW) Co-ordinator, to be taken in the event of an emergency situation affecting Hilton. The PC has nominated an Emergency Team, who will act as a focal point for all communications and who will co-ordinate the initial response to an emergency situation, pending the arrival of the Emergency Services. In the case of potential or actual flooding, a village Flood Plan will be activated, which ensures that the Emergency Team will receive local early warnings and situation reports from a network of contacts provided by the village NW group, in addition to reports from the specialist agencies. Operations to warn and evacuate vulnerable villagers to safe locations will also be co-ordinated by the team. This Emergency Plan has been approved by the Huntingdonshire District Council (HDC) and the Emergency Services. The PC will review the Plan annually. Sponsored by: Hilton Parish Council
