How the council responds to emergencies
The main role of Aberdeenshire Council in an emergency is to respond effectively to any major incident and recover from it as quickly as possible. The council has an emergency plan that is designed to co-ordinate our response to any incident. This is done through the Grampian Local Resilience Partnership, and in conjunction with our partners such as:
- Emergency services
- Neighbouring councils
- Health and Social Care Partnerships
- NHS Grampian
- SEPA
Our emergency plan provides a response for all emergencies however, where appropriate, additional plans exist to deal with specific hazards.
We also believe that where individuals are informed about the risks they may face, they can be better prepared. View information about risks we all face:
