Somerset Community Resilience Day 2019

SRA Annual Report 2019-20: Somerset Community Resilience Day 2019

Following the success of the first Somerset Community Resilience Day in October 2018, the SRA part-funded a second event in October 2019.

More than 50 volunteers, wardens, councillors and community leaders travelled to North Petherton for talks, workshops and displays.

A key feature was giving people chance to learn from each other’s experiences.

Subjects included how to get – and keep – local people engaged and how to write and update emergency plans.

The event was organised by Somerset Prepared, and five other agencies and organisations were also involved with different elements of the day.
