Emergency – Definition

An emergency is a serious situation or occurrence that happens unexpectedly and demands immediate action.

In most cases, emergencies are dealt with by the appropriate agencies including the major utilities. However, in some circumstances, such as extensive flooding, heavy snow or severe storm damage, where the arrival of emergency services could be delayed or diverted to other locations, Westerham must be prepared to rely on its own resilience.
