    We are a member of the Sussex Resilience Forum (SRF), where we work with other local responder organisations to plan and train together and improve our joint response to emergencies.

    A Mutual Aid Agreement is in place with the other 14 local authorities in Sussex to enable easier access to support for affected communities in the event of a major emergency.

    As part of our responsibilities under the Civil Contingencies Act we maintain plans for responding to emergencies. Our links with our other partners and Government enable us to play a full role in civil protection as a Category 1 Responder.

    You can find out more about who deals with emergencies on the East Sussex County Council website. Further information is provided on the government's website.

    Flood Plan

    Hastings Borough Council has a multi-agency flood response plan in place which provides a framework for the co-ordinated multi-agency response to flooding or the threat of flooding in Hastings Town Centre, Hastings Seafront and Bulverhythe.  

    Business continuity

    We maintain plans to enable us to continue to deliver critical Council services during an incident, and we encourage local businesses to develop their own Business Continuity plans to be able to continue to trade during a period of disruption.

    More information and guidance on business continuity planning is available in the Business and commerce section.
