Why this leaflet?
The government is urging residents to be prepared for emergencies. In extreme circumstances, everyone is expected to be able to look after themselves for at least 72 hours. Emergencies are unpredictable. It is precisely at such times that it is essential for us in Cruquius to be able to help one another.
What is going on?
Our local council has approached Cruquius to ask if we, as a village, would like to organise ourselves to provide assistance in emergencies, such as:
- prolonged power outages
- failure of communications or utilities
What is the aim?
The aim is simple and powerful: to know who needs help and who is willing to help others in times of need. This can be done in all sorts of ways, for example:
🛠 Equipment – chainsaws, generators, tools
💡Knowledge & skills – technical, digital, electrical
🩺Care & support – medical, mental health or practical
All assistance is voluntary and takes place exclusively with your consent.
How do we organise this?
Neighbourhood support workers are active in every neighbourhood and are in contact with a core team. The core team is linked to the safety region. Data is used exclusively in emergency situations.
What does this mean for you?
A neighbourhood support worker will visit you with a short questionnaire.
Your participation is of great value for safety in your neighbourhood and for rapid assistance in an emergency.

Strong together!
