Joint Emergency Planning Unit
Local authorities emergency planning in Suffolk is organised in a joint unit comprising all of the Suffolk District, Borough and County Councils.
The aim of the JEPU is to facilitate the development, management, support and validation of integrated civil preparedness and business continuity management within Suffolk Local Authorities.
District Emergency Planning Officers (DEPO) and Emergency Planning Officers (EPO) maintain the special links they have within their respective districts/boroughs and continue to provide a local service.
