Extended Floodline Warnings Direct Innospec picPilot 

On Wednesday 1st February 2012, Cheshire LRF, along with colleagues in
Central Government, will test a new alerting system that involves sending a recorded  telephone message directly to home and business landline telephones in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire.
We will be testing this new system to see if it will help the emergency services get in touch with residents and businesses if there was a major emergency in the area.

The pilot area for the test is in the Ellesmere Port area. Residents that live within the Public Information Zone of Innospec Speciality Chemicals (usually within 1 km of the site) will receive a message to their landline on Wednesday 1 February 2012.

A recorded message will be sent to land line telephones between 10 and 11am (the same time as the usual monthly Innospec siren test) or between 6 and 7pm.

How we Prepare

Part of our preparation includes regular training exercises where we bring together all of the agencies in a staged situation. This lets us practise co-ordinating our response so that we can act quickly and effectively should a real emergency occur.

Preparing for Winter.

Don’t be put off clearing paths because you’re afraid someone will get injured. Remember, people walking on snow and ice have a responsibility to be careful themselves.
Follow the snow code.
