Largo Villages Community Resilience Plan

 

Helping Each Other Prepare, Respond and Recover

Emergencies can strike at any time—severe weather, flooding, traffic incidents or power cuts. The Largo Villages Community Resilience Plan is our community’s way of being ready and looking out for one another during difficult times.

Developed by the Largo Area Community Response Team (LACRT), the Community Council, and residents, this plan ensures we are organised, informed and equipped to act when needed.

What the Plan Does
Helps individuals and families prepare for emergencies
Coordinates a local response during incidents
Promotes self-resilience in our villages
Works alongside emergency services when they are stretched
Ensures vulnerable neighbours are supported
From missing pets to major weather events, our plan provides guidance, communication routes, and volunteer-led responses to help keep everyone safe and connected.

Where It Covers
The plan covers all six villages in our area:

Drumeldrie
Lower Largo
Lundin Links
New Gilston
Upper Largo
Woodside
…including the many farms and homes in between.

How You Can Get Involved
Community resilience is built on people power – and that means you. If you care about your neighbours and want to be part of something meaningful, there are simple ways to help:

Join our Volunteer Group
Help spread messages in an emergency
Be a local contact or helper
Lend your skills or equipment
Attend a community meeting

You don’t need special training—just common sense, a willingness to help, and a bit of time.
