This webinar from Communities Prepared provides an introduction to snow and winter weather and your role as a Community Emergency Volunteer (CEV) before, during and after a snow incident. This is a useful module for Flood Warden groups looking to become multi-role and feel confident managing a range of emergencies. This webinar will be co-delivered with Dorset Council's Highways team and supported by the Environment Agency’s Wessex Flood Resilience Team and Dorset Prepared.

Join this session to build your knowledge on a range of key topics, including:

• Writing and triggering a snow plan

• Vulnerable persons' check

• Equipment and Snow Warden PPE

• Health and safety

Throughout the webinar we will be referring to the training handbook on which this session is based. You can download and read Snow Volunteer from the Communities Prepared hub. If you are not currently a member, you will be prompted to register – it’s free to join! For any questions regarding the hub, please contact Communities Prepared at communitiesprepared@groundwork.org.uk.
