In the event of an emergency or disaster, reception centres will be set up for registration and inquiry. The number of reception centres that may be opened and set up would be dependant on the nature of the situation and the evacuation measures. Listen to your battery powered radio for further information.
The Emergency Social Services Committee plans for the provision of care at reception centres for evacuees, victims and emergency response workers. We have provided a short presentation (PDF - 623.16KB) on this subject.
