Your answers will improve the support for the production of Community Emergency Response Plans (CERPs).
DAPTC is working with Dorset Council, Dorset Prepared and other Local Resilience Forums (LRFs) to support the drafting and adopting of CERPs by parish meetings and parish and town councils. The next step in this project is to establish how many plans exist, how many might need refreshing, what support might be needed in the future and which communities might be ready to test their plans. This week we have issued a survey to gather this information.
The importance of this work means we want a very high response rate and completing the survey at your earliest convenience would be greatly appreciated (it also means you'll avoid being pestered by project lead, Will Austin!). The survey is hosted on Dorset Council's consultation portal where you will find a Word document showing all the questions so you can consider your answers before submitting a response. We ask that you avoid using this document to submit your answers as responses submitted online will aid and speed up analysis of the information.
To complete the survey on Dorset Council's consultation portal USE THIS LINK. The survey closes 30 June 2026.
If you have any questions about the survey or about CERPs more generally, please contact Will Austin on:
