Emergencies - Staffordshire Moorlands District Council

If you experience or witness a crime please call 999 or 101 and report this to the police as soon as it's safe to do so.

If you are having a medical emergency or are with someone who requires medical attention please ring 999 or 101.

In the event of an emergency that requires people to be evacuated from their homes, we have identified a number of premises across the district, and if necessary will work with local organisations to set up and operate rest centres.

We have trained staff volunteers who crew our rest centres.

Flash floods - what to do

Though flash floods are rare climate change and an increase in localised thunderstorms means they are happening more often

Safety around open water

We advise that people do not enter water at any time, even if you are a strong swimmer, unless as part of a supervised, organised event or activity
