SSE helps Aberdeenshire community prepare for crisis situations

SSE has helped a local Aberdeenshire community group prepare for a a crisis-type situation with essential grant-funding which will pay for a reliable radio system.

Building on recommended methods of communication suggested by Police Scotland for good, dependable communication in a crisis, the group applied for funds from SSEN’s Resilient Communities Fund to purchase a radio system for use during major events or emergencies affecting the local community.

The funding has been used to purchase a base station radio located within the group coordination centre and two types of hand-held radio – one for use within the rest centre, and the other by group members assisting out on the streets.
