Help and advice for the community

Accessing information

The provision of reliable and regular information to those affected by emergencies is a priority for all agencies. During, and where possible ahead of an emergency, messages will be relayed over local and sometimes national radio and television networks, as well as other existing communication channels with communities, will be used to warn and inform you about incidents and emergencies in your area.

Information about current emergencies will be posted on this website, where there will also be links to related sites depending on the emergency. For example during a flood related emergency the site will link to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency and agencies that can advise on issues such as repairs to damaged property and insurance matters.

Enquiry points at libraries and ACCESS offices may also be established acting as focal points and relaying vital information.

Information points, advice and support will also be available within the support centres.

Getting Information

In the event of a major emergency, information to the public will be broadcast on national television and radio networks as well as local channels. Listen out for emergency phone numbers.

Radio:

Information and notification of an incident may also be given from other sources including a van driving around using loud hailers to inform you, a visit from an officer to tell you personally or other ways. Be a good neighbour and pass on information to those who may have missed the warnings and check on any neighbours requiring extra support. There will also be further information available on this website or at any support centres that have been activated or by calling ACCESSLine on 08452 777 778.
