The Council's Response in an Emergency
During an emergency Trafford Councilwill co-operate with the emergency services to provide support to the people in its area. The council, upon request, will provide resources available to mitigate the effects of the emergency on people, property, the environment and infrastructure. We will play a key role in co-ordinating the response from the voluntary sector and will endeavour to continue to provide support and care for the local and wider community. We will take the leading role in facilitating the return to normality, providing restoration and regeneration as required.
We will ask public, private and voluntary organisations for their co-operation and support in resolving any difficulties in a combined and co-ordinated response.
