EVAG Report for year 2023
Emergency Volunteer Action Group is a hybrid organisation of Rotary and Inner Wheel and other volunteers. We respond to callout by local authorities in Dorset, Somerset, and Wiltshire in the event of civil emergencies. We continue to attend both internal and external training courses to keep up with developments. We have our own small store which holds essential response equipment, and we also issue flood prevention gear free of charge, to households in danger of flooding.
EVAG has been involved with the following significant happenings this January 23- January 24.
Throughout Oct 23 to March 24 – EVAG placed on standby by Local Authority several times to help man potential evacuation centres. At least 4 officially declared storms wreaked havoc across southern England. Thank fully there were no evacuations but there have been many dwellings who have suffered ingress of flood water.
Helping individual homes to avoid a recurrence of flooding has been a significant involvement for EVAG this year. We have purchased new style equipment – Snake Barriers, Toilet seals and Air Brick covers.
Large Exercise . This is planned for April 24 and will involve all the Blue Light services. EVAG have buy from us been asked the help man a big evacuation centre. We may need to call up local Rotary and Inner wheel Clubs to render assistance probably as volunteer evacuees.
Move of Store – After over a year in a barn owned by one of the EVAG members, we are moving to a new secure location. We are responsible for over £200k worth of stock.
Revised Policy – Many people can no longer get insurance against flood damage. If an individual cannot afford our flood prevention equipment, we issue whatever is required completely free of any charge. Where they can obviously afford the equipment’s, we can advise a purchase source, or they can buy from us at cost. And several village councils wish to have their own stock of
equipment. In these circumstances, they can purchase from EVAG at cost, or we will advise on where to purchase.
Finances The financial summary is also filed. We have £4129.73 at end of 2023. Since then, we have used £4371.59 to make some essential purchases. We have received some donations of £1050.00.
