Waverley is one of the largest of the eleven District and Borough Councils in Surrey covering a rural area with four main areas of population, Cranleigh, Farnham, Godalming and Haslemere.

This presents its own unique set of challenges when it comes to emergency and resilience planning, and the Council has a central role to play in supporting the community in times of need and promoting preparedness and resilience in the community. Over recent years this has involved responding to severe flooding, snow, foot and mouth disease and heathland fire among others!
