CALLING ALL COMMUNITIES IN DEVON - JOIN FORCES TO DEVELOP YOUR LOCAL RESILIENCE AND EMERGENCY PLANS

Key agencies and organisations across Devon: the Police, Fire Service, Environment Agency, Devon County Council, Plymouth and Torbay Councils, District Councils, Devon Communities Together and the Devon Association of Local Councils have come together to form The Devon Community Resilience Forum.

The aim of the Forum is to work with communities and individuals to harness local resources and expertise, to help plan how to prepare, respond and recover from events such as flooding. The forum is also bringing together community representatives and practitioners to consider key resilience issues and provide communities with advice and support.

Devon Communities Together, because of its wide experience of working with local communities and a wide range of resilience issues, will manage the Forum and host the Forum website which provides supporting materials, such as a Community Emergency Plan template, guidance and case studies. 

There will be two Devon Community Resilience Forum events every year, comprising talks, workshops and a marketplace for resilience products. You will be able to seek opportunities to network with fellow communities, to share ideas, lessons learned and mutual support.

All town and parish councils, community groups and interested individuals are welcome.
