🚨 Declaring Major Incidents on Events - METHANE 🚨

The JESIP multi-agency approach for the declaration of major incidents can also be applied on event sites, with the over-arching aim of 'working together, saving lives, reducing harm’.

🔴 M - Major Incident - is it a major incident on your site? Yes or No? If no, continue to write the ETHANE message, as it may develop further.

🟢 E - Exact Location - Be as accurate as possible, use street names, landmarks, building numbers and post codes. You may also consider using GPS coordinates, latitude and longitude or what3words where these are accepted and understood by your organisation.

🟣 T - Type of Incident - Define the nature of the incident. For example, terror incident, explosion or building/staging collapse.

🔵 H - Hazards - Are there any hazards currently known to be present or suspected? Do you know any hazards that could potentially arise?

🟠 A - Access - Describe the routes that are safe to use and provide access to the incident. This should also include access to any relevant Rendezvous Point (RvP). In the case of a Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) incident, it may also include areas to avoid. Consider egress routes as some organisations will come and go from the incident such as the ambulance service transporting casualties.

⚫ N - Number of Casualties - Determine the number of casualties and if possible the level and severity of injuries. This is so that the casualties can be prioritised.

🔴 E - Emergency Services - Which, and how many, emergency responder agencies are required or are already on-scene?

🏞️ Victoria Park in Tower Hamlet, London: Increasing their Capacity 🏞️

Allowing larger events within the park space to increase money brought into the Council. Many residents do not like the idea, even though it would benefit them in the long term.

Yesterday, the 4th February 2024, marked World Cancer Day.

World Cancer Day is an international day marked on 4 February to raise awareness of cancer and to encourage its prevention, detection, and treatment.

As some of you may know, cancer is something that has affected my family quite badly, with the death of my late mother in October 2022. So therefore, preventing, finding and treating cancer, is of great importance to me.

One of the last things my mother and I did before she died was visit two event sites that I had the pleasure of working on, one of an event that she remembered so fondly as a child, and another an event where the sheer passion of the people working on it shone through the moment you drove through the gate. This was one of many proud moments of my mother, apart from seeing myself and my sister graduate.

Lastly, remember to get checked, no matter how small of a problem, it could save your life.

As we continue our planning for 2024, we still have availability for short or longer term projects throughout the year.
