This bought together representatives of category one responders , category 2 responders,voluntary agencies and other interested parties.
It was great to see such a gathering of people with such a wide range of experience, knowledge and most importantly drive to improve the reslience of our local community.
A variety of speakers on different subjects gave a insight to their specific areas of expertise.Their presentations were both informative and thought provoking.
The over arching theme of all the speakers was community involvement and and how as responders we can make use of and tap in to the huge wealth of knowledge,assistance and ad hoc plans which exist.
Engaging with local communities allows access to this information , prevents duplication of work and avoids reinventing the wheel. It is important to engage prior to a event so that as a responder you are aware of what resources may be available to you within your local area or further afield.
There are a range of work streams in progress across the county and nationally to ensure we make best use of these community resources in a coordinated and ordered way. Looking forward this work can only be of benefit to everyone involved.
Thanks to all involved in the organisation of this event, the speakers and the exhibitors.
