With The Salvation Army working in all parts of Britain, each region or division has produced a divisional emergency plan which relates specifically to the needs of a particular area. It will be appreciated that the problems of Belfast may be vastly different from those of Plymouth and those of Glasgow different to Norwich. Once the divisional plan has been finalised, all local authority emergency services receive a copy so that they can call The Salvation Army as and when required, knowing what help can be offered. Under the leadership of their local emergency services organiser, Salvationists and other volunteers meet periodically to train in emergency work by taking first-aid courses and studying emergency films supplied by the police and fire brigade, as well as listening to visiting lecturers and taking part in 'dry runs' as part of their practical experience. Pictures and information on The Salvation Army's Emergency Services around the world have recently been added to the International Headquarters Website .
Stories often appear in 'The War Cry' and 'Salvationist' newspapers.
