The purpose of Community Unity is to enable organisations to participate in a local response to a civil emergency.
Following a major incident the emergency services will come to our aid as quickly as they can but until they do we must be able to manage with whatever is available locally.
We have frequently witnessed passers-by helping the injured by “making do” with items of clothing.
It should not be necessary to "make do" when First Aid equipment is all around us!
Government, local authorities and the emergency services will provide the holistic and organised response to a civil emergency but aid is needed in the immediate aftermath.
