Emergency Planning

Tendring District Council (TDC) has a responsibility under the Civil Contingency Act 2004 with regard to Civil Protection and Emergency Management. The TDC Emergency Planning Team maintains regular liaison with partner organisations and maintains a suite of plans and guidance documents to support the repose to, and recovery from, a major emergency affecting the district. As part of their controls in place they undertake to liaise with Parish and Town Councils with regard to the development and maintenance of individual Parish and Town Emergency Plans.
