Major emergency incident

A major emergency is a situation that arises with or without warning and cannot be dealt with under normal circumstances. Examples can include severe flooding, serious fires or chemical incidents.

For advice and further information, including details of our out of hours service, please contact us.

Emergency Plan

Wolverhampton City Council has a major emergency plan which is drawn up in consultation with partners. 

The plan enables us to follow procedures in order to react to any major emergency, and is always kept up to date.

Community Risk Register

The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 places a legal duty on responders to undertake risk assessments and maintain them in a Community Risk Register.

Risk assessments help organisations develop emergency plans and business continuity plans to ensure a greater resilience to the risks that exist within the city of Wolverhampton.
