Staplehurst Emergency Help Team (SEHT)

This highly organised team was originally set up by volunteers to support the community, following a major fire in the large village of Staplehurst, Kent in 2010. With many residents needing to be evacuated from their homes, it was identified that more localised plans were needed to better support such incidents. Since then, the team has grown from strength to strength, with around 35 local volunteers who can be called upon around the clock to provide extra help when needed for this rural community hub located south of Maidstone, in Kent.

Kent Resilience Forum came to Staplehurst to talk to us about the Emergency Help Team.
