Civil Emergencies - Emergency Plans
 The council has developed the major emergency plans and it consists of the
following:
- An introduction to the types of emergency or major incident likely to
be faced.
- The roles and responsibilities of the council and its departments in
a major incident.
- Activation and alerting procedures.
- Contact details of other organisations.
- Adverse weather conditions
- Working with the media
- Dealing with release of chemical or biological agents
- Recovery Management
This is a flexible plan and can be applied to most incidents however in
addition to the major emergency plan additional plans have been developed
around specific roles and incidents as follows:
- River Thames Tidal Flooding (currently under review)
- Non Tidal Flooding
- Influenza Pandemic Contingency Plan
- Borough Emergency Control Room Manual
- Business Continuity Plan
- Business Recovery Plan
In addition to these plans the council is helped in emergency situations by
a multi –faith major incident plan. This plan can be activated at London
wide level. At Borough level the Major Incident Plan is initiated by the Archdeacon
of Bromley & Bexley, The Venerable Paul Wright. He makes use not only of
Anglican clergy within the Borough of Bexley, but has contacts with other Christian
ministers and those of other Faith traditions. Those interested in finding out
more, whether they can help or simply for information, please email him on archdeacon.bromley@rochester.anglican.org.
