Rest Centres
Where people have been evacuated from their homes then the council will open public buildings as a place of refuge for the community until such time as they are able to return to their homes.
As well as opening these premises, the council has a number of staff trained to staff these Rest centres and ensure the welfare of those using these buildings.
When you attend a centre you will be given a leaflet explaining what happens, a copy of this is attached for information.
Every effort is taken to ensure the safety of you, your family and where necessary pets.
Survivors Centres
Persons who have been involved in the incident or are survivors of such as transport crashes will be taken to Survivor Centres, the facilities will be the same as Rest Centres. There will however be medical treatment available for any injured persons.
Family and Friends Centres
In the event that families and friends of survivors require information as to the whereabouts of their nearest and dearest they will be directed to a Friends and Families Reception Centre.
All these centres will be run on the same lines.
