Hertfordshire VCFSE Resilience Register

Community Help Hertfordshire and Communities 1st are developing a county-wide picture of the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise organisations that could help communities before, during or after an emergency.

You do not need to be an emergency-response organisation to take part. Everyday services, local knowledge, trusted relationships, volunteers, buildings, transport, advice or simply being able to communicate quickly with the people you support can all be useful.

The Register is held and managed by Communities 1st on behalf of Community Help Hertfordshire. It supports our work with British Red Cross, Hertfordshire Local Resilience Forum and other emergency partners.

Being on the Register does not commit your organisation to respond. If help is needed, you will always be contacted to check whether you have the capacity and appropriate arrangements to support at that time.

It should take around 5 minutes to complete..

Before you submit
The information you provide helps Communities 1st and Community Help Hertfordshire understand what support may be available across Hertfordshire.

Being on the Register does not commit your organisation to respond. If an emergency occurs, we will contact you to check your availability before any support is agreed.

Communities 1st holds and manages the Hertfordshire VCFSE Resilience Register on behalf of Community Help Hertfordshire.

We use the information to understand the services, resources, community connections and other support available across Hertfordshire and to help coordinate the VCFSE sector's involvement in emergency preparedness, response and recovery.

We work with British Red Cross, Hertfordshire Local Resilience Forum and other relevant emergency partners. Appropriate organisational capability information may be shared where needed for planning or responding to an incident. Personal contact details and sensitive operational information are only shared where there is an appropriate operational need.
Being included on the Register does not commit your organisation to respond to an emergency.

Personal contact details and sensitive operational information are not published and are only made available where needed for planning or coordinating a response.

 

I confirm that the information provided is accurate to the best of my knowledge and that Communities 1st may contact our organisation about resilience planning or emergency support.
