We cannot predict when a major incident might happen, but we do know that they cause distress and disruption for the people affected. The North Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum coordinates the response across North Yorkshire during an emergency and we are looking for local businesses to join our team of Ready for Anything volunteers.
You could provide practical support to people during incidents, such as donating refreshments at emergency rest centres, or temporarily supporting a local business that has been affected.
There is no obligation to offer a regular commitment, but we will notify you when there is an incident and if you are able to help, we will coordinate the response. We will also provide you with appropriate training, awareness sessions and keep in contact via email with newsletters and invitations to exercises.
Reading our privacy notice will help you understand how and why we process your personal data.
We may use corporate-approved artificial intelligence tools (such as Microsoft Copilot) to assist with analysing anonymous free-text responses. This process helps us identify themes and improve our services. No personal data is used in this analysis. The information you provide is stored within our secure environment, which is held within the United Kingdom and is not used for training Microsoft models.
