The council also offers advice and information to local residents on flooding issues and dealing with extreme hot or cold weather.
We also offer information to businesses on how to prepare for emergencies.
Through the Nottinghamshire Integrated Emergency Plan, the council is part of a planned approach to dealing with emergencies in Notts or providing assistance to neighbouring counties if they need it.
