Do you know how the council and its partners plan for and respond to emergencies in Kirklees?
Our newly updated section outlines how the work of the Kirklees Emergency Planning Team and others enables us to be prepared for, respond to and recover from emergencies and business disruptions across the district. The team assesses and mitigates risks; writes and tests emergency plans and business continuity plans; delivers training; undertakes work to improve community resilience; and provides a 24/7 emergency standby service.
The team work closely with other local emergency responders under the West Yorkshire Resilience Forum. Key partners include the Police, Fire Service, Ambulance Service, other Local Authorities, Utility Companies and Voluntary Organisations.
