Pevensey Parish Council have produced a document which provides local people with advice and guidance in the event of an emergency affecting the local area.
It provides information on how people can help themselves when difficulties arise. It is always best to be prepared so that we can help ourselves at least for a limited time.
The plan covers whom you should contact from the statutory bodies, various situations which may occur and a few precautions that could be taken.
