Storm Resilience Summit

Are we prepared?
Is there more we can do to get ready?
Do all service providers have contingency plans in place?
I received numerous calls and concerns following Storm Austen. Community leaders, first responders deserve reassurance we've learned lessons following Storm Goretti last January.
I've organised this event to give you the chance to hear from: the Government's emergency planners, COBRA; local emergency planners; and key service providers. There's a good line-up. And a chance to talk to services face-to-face.
With a super El Nino looming, it's important we get ready.
Are you ready? What do we all need to do, individually, as communities looking out for each other, and knowing how to get help when it's needed?
If the worst of the winter storms haven't already arrived by then(!), this event will help.
And it's relevant we're holding the event at the Penzance & Newlyn Rugby Ground (and Cornish Pirates home ground), The Mennaye; which was devastated by Storm Goretti and then Storm Ingrid. They destroyed much of the main grandstand and the stand opposite. Causing hundreds of thousands of damage, including the relocation of Pirates home games for months after.
