Emergency Plan February 2007 SECTION 1- INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose of This Plan This appendix to the Fylde BC Emergency Plan details Fylde Borough Council’s systems and procedures for responding to flooding emergencies from tidal waters within the Borough of Fylde. It explains the structures and the responsibilities which exist in response to flood warning messages. It also provides written arrangements which enable designated officers to respond effectively and efficiently to a flooding incident, producing an immediate and co-ordinated response, thus enabling any effect on the public and/or environment to be minimised. 1.2 Relationship with Other Plans Fylde’s response to a major flooding event, or the possibility of one, is built upon the premise that a flood is not significantly different to any other major emergency. The command and control structures that allow the various services to respond together are substantially the same as those used for other incidents and with only a few exceptions, in general, the resources called upon are also the same. The ways in which a flooding event does differ from other incidents are: (1) the precise way in which those resources are deployed, and (2) the fact that warnings can be issued in advance. Unlike other incidents, there is also a greater capacity for those affected to help themselves both in advance and during the incident. To this end the Environment Agency will issue warnings via the media, directly to households and businesses affected as well as the police and local authorities. The environment agency has a duty to produce and disseminate flood warnings. To this end the agency writes and maintains the Local Flood Warning Plan for the Lancashire police area. The Lancashire Resilience Forum Flood Subgroup have also produced the multi-agency response plan for flooding in Lancashire which collates information regarding the roles and responsibilities of organisations that respond to flooding in Lancashire and provides for a Multi Agency Response to Flooding Incidents. As well as being part of the Fylde Borough Council Emergency Plan, this appendix must be read in conjunction with these additional flood-specific plans. 1.3 Organisational Responsibilities Details of the roles and responsibilities of both Council Staff and the various services involved in an emergency are set out in Section 6 of the Fylde B.C. Emergency Plan. The responsibilities of organisations that respond to flooding are also given in more detail in the Lancashire Resilience Forum Flood Subgroup Multi-Agency Response Plan for Flooding in Lancashire. A brief summary of the roles and responsibilities of the key services, specifically in respect of a flooding emergency, are, however, summarised below:- Environment Agency The Environment Agency is the principal flood defence operating authority in England and Wales, with powers to take measures against flooding from rivers and tidal waters. The Agency has the lead role for managing the dissemination of flood warnings. The Environment Agency’s role in a major flooding event is as follows. a) Issuing flood warnings b) Maintaining and operating vital flood defences c) Monitoring water levels and flows, assessing risk and advising the emergency services and local authority d) Checking flood defences and undertaking essential repairs and maintenance as necessary, monitoring and clearing blockages of culverts, and breaches of-defences. e) Advising the Police on the need to declare a major civil emergency.
