A very busy couple of days for Dorset Local Resilience Forum and an amazing opportunity for me and the Civil Contingencies Unit team to be part of the planning and the response. (Report by namesake and not me ☺️)

I have had an amazing day at the HQ and down on the beach learning all about the day to day work of the RNLI lifeguards. Thank you @BrettRNLI for inviting me down. You’re a very important partner in our prevention and response planning.
Always a super interesting and inspiring day to be invited to talk all things Local Resilience Forums with the MSc in Crisis & Disaster Management students @bournemouthuni with Paul Williams my Wiltshire colleague. Thanks for the invite @BeallBaker
Did you know the Dorset coastline is one of the busiest areas for response for HM Coastguard in the UK❓This is why multi-agency working and ‘Helping Ine Another’ is so important. #DorsetPrepared#NationalVolunteersWeek
