Civil Emergencies
How will you know if there is a civil emergency?
In the event of an emergency which presents an immediate threat to life, the police will warn you of any actions you need to take.
In addition, the Emergency Planning staff of your local authority may need to provide information to the community. Under such circumstances, you are advised to tune into BBC Radio Northampton on 103.9 or 104.5 FM or Connect FM on 97.2 or 107.4 FM.
