It’s a fact of life that emergencies of one kind or another will happen. While there is plenty of help from local authorities there is a limit to what they, including parish councils, can do.
This makes it important for individuals to take some responsibility for planning for what might happen to them, their community, and their businesses.

Do take time to have a look; when an emergency happens it will likely be too late.
