These pages provide information on the role of Denbighshire’s Emergency Planning Team in preparing for possible emergencies. There is also information on how you can prepare for either a personal or business emergency.

Flintshire and Denbighshire are parties to a joint arrangement to provide a single emergency planning service for the two authorities. The unit is called the Joint Emergency Planning Unit and is based in Mold in Flintshire.

The Emergency Planning Unit is responsible for co-ordinating both authorities response to any emergency affecting their communities. Emergencies can be as a result of severe weather, transport or industrial accident, water pollution or terrorism. They may require the mobilisation of the authorities, the utilities, voluntary groups and other organisations.

A planned response will mitigate the effects of an emergency incident and assist the community in the return to normality. Denbighshire’s County Council’s Emergency Planning web pages has basic information about what you can do to protect yourself in the event of a major incident or accident, providing basic do's and don'ts in simple steps to enable you to prepare for an emergency without any unnecessary interruption to day to day activities.
