Welsh
Welcome to the Welsh Branch of the Emergency Planning Society.
Our aim is to promote all aspects of emergency planning and resilience in Wales.
Our members are drawn from a wide range of professional disciplines including the Emergency Services, Local Authorities, Military, Health Agencies, Voluntary Organisations, Utility Companies, together with self-employed and retired professionals who deal with emergency/contingency planning and crisis/disaster management.
The branch strives to meet regularly and endeavours to be inclusive to all members across the nation by careful selection venues and alternating the region where these events are held. We try to hold branch meetings at locations and venues of interest to our members and often combine these with a presentation/guest speaker and a site visit.
If you are interested in becoming a member or would like to find out more about the Branch please contact the Branch Secretary Russell Stafford-Tolley: rst.brecon@gmail.com
We look forward to hearing from you.
