The Emergency Planning Unit is responsible for co-ordinating Denbighshire’s response to any emergency affecting its community. Such a disaster could be caused by extremes of weather, transport, industrial accident, water pollution or terrorism This may require the mobilisation of county staff and resources as well as assistance from the emergency services, neighbouring local authorities, the utilities, voluntary groups and other organisations.
