Emergency planning

Get involved and emergency volunteering

At Central Bedfordshire Council we have a number of opportunities available to get involved in emergency preparedness and response:

  • you could join one of our BLEVEC emergency response organisations and learn new skills
  • you could join your local Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) as a volunteer, business or organisation who could help in an emergency in your local area
  • you can volunteer to become a Central Bedfordshire Emergency Response Volunteer and possibly take on a more specialist role: apply to join
  • if you work in teaching or a caring profession, such as childminding or caring for vulnerable adults, we are especially keen to hear from you
