Emergency Plans and Guidance
The Humanitarian Assistance Guidance for Hampshire and the Isle Of Wight Local Resilience Forum sets out the approach that will be taken by Hampshire and Isle of Wight LRF partners in the event of an incident which requires a humanitarian response.
The purpose of this guide is to support the CCA guidance in promoting and raising awareness of the potential voluntary sector contribution within the South East region. The guide provides an overview of the services that may be available from the various organisations and also highlights considerations that should be taken into account when engaging the voluntary sector in response and recovery activities.
Pandemic influenza is one of the most severe natural challenges likely to affect the UK but sensible and proportionate preparation and collective action by the Government, essential services, businesses, the media, other public, private and voluntary organisations and communities can help to mitigate its effects.
This document is a local level multi-agency framework for the response to an influenza pandemic in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight and has been produced by the LRF to conform to Government guidance. It is a working document that will be modified according to need, direction or to reflect best practice.
