About the Emergency Planning Support Officer role

About Suffolk Joint Emergency Planning Unit 

The Joint Emergency Planning Unit was formed in 2005 between all Suffolk local authorities to provide an emergency planning and business continuity planning service. The team provides a focal point for civil emergency preparedness within Suffolk councils and provides a 24/7 out of hours duty service and initial emergency management capability.

Some of the duties of this role will be: 

to promote and support communities to encourage community resilience and business continuity in their local areas 

seeking and coordinating opportunities to promote Community Emergency Planning, for example joining existing community engagement events or meetings
