Extreme weather is hitting us at increasingly regular intervals.  It can bring rain, storm, heat, wind and harm people, buildings, roads, trees, disrupt services and every part of our lives. So it’s a really good idea to be as ready as we can so we can support our staff and volunteers, and our communities!

These resources are primarily aimed at VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise sector) who support people across our communities. We need to make sure we can cope as organisations, with prepared and confident staff and volunteers; and we need to make sure we can support the communities we serve, and the vulnerable members of those communities in particular, who will often be amongst the first to be affected.

There are four self-explanatory stages we can think about that help us do that: Prepare; Respond; Recover; and Review.
