Active call-out memberObviously the key aim of the club is to bring together like-minded people who want to use their vehicles to support the community in times of need. In order to present a semi-professional service and because of health & safety reason required by the insurance of the County Emergency Planning Department all Drivers who use their vehicles for the group must pass a basic assessment of their driving skills (off-road), their ability to navigate (you can’t help if you can’t get there) and their equipment and vehicles (there is a basic minimum level of kit and spec for the vehicle).
Once you have passed the assessment (there is plenty of help and guidance) you can then be added to the Active Call Out List. You will receive a Hi-visibility waistcoat with reflective 4X4 Response badges (small returnable deposit required), an ID card which must be carried on all 4X4 Response activities and call-outs and a members handbook.
In order to remain on the Active Call Out List there are the following requirements:
- You must attend at least one club event, exercise or call out each year
- You must have a 4X4 vehicle and
- Your vehicle must be road legal and insured for voluntary work use (check with your insurer)
