A visit to London and the Ambition emergency planning and reslience exibition at Olympia was interesting with some great speakers across a range of reslience subjects.
The underlying key point of many of the speakers was ensuring that local communities are involved in planning process, to build local reslience and tap in to local knowledge, skills and resources. Recent events have shown how communities can come together to offer assistance to each other. As category 1 responders we need to ensure we are able to use these community assets in a managed and safe way. To do this we must know what is available locally.
Along side this was the counter terrorism exibition with some really Gucci and geeky kit.
It was also nice to spend the day doing the touristy bits with my daughter. We visited the O2, the Emerite Airline Cable Car and the London Docklands Musuem. All mixed in with a train ride, underground and Docklands Light Railway.
Poor planning saw me back in Dorset on Wednesday night ,but off back up to the O2 in London on Friday to see the Electric Light Ochestra supported by the Feeling. A great concert in a fabulous venue.
The amp and CD wall at the O2 beats wallpaper!
This week I am back to the normal day job with some interviews and major incident exercise thrown in for good measure.
