Exmoor Search & Rescue Team was tasked by both Avon and Somerset Police and Devon & Cornwall Police as part of a multi-agency major incident response to #StormEunice.
Team Members were proactively and strategically deployed alongside partner agencies from both respective Local Resilience Forums; Team Members were stood by in South Molton and Taunton, Somerset, in preparation for the forecast inclement weather and available to support the Statutory Emergency Services as required.
The Team crewed four Team Vehicles with qualified Swift Water and Flood Rescue Technicians and Casualty Carers distributed to respond alongside colleagues from neighbouring Mountain Rescue Teams, South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust and Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service.
