Emergency planning
In Ards and North Down we work with various agencies and the Eastern Civil Contingencies Group to ensure we are ready to respond and help the community if a major emergency takes place.
For more information on how residents can prepare their households for an emergency, for example flooding due to extreme weather, please see Emergency Preparedness | Ards and North Down Borough Council
