National Preparedness Commission

The aim of the National Preparedness Commission is to promote better preparedness for a major crisis or incident.

[National Preparedness Commission @NatPrepCom]

The dramatic impact of COVID-19 shows that our societal structures are fragile. It has demonstrated why nationally and internationally we need to be better prepared to withstand, recover and ‘build back better’ from major disruptions.

Expansive & sobering analysis from @dieter_helm in this @NatPrepCom lecture on ‘Sustainable Infrastructure’: lack of systems planning, geared financial engineering, regulatory undersight. Structural 'harm' & future implications for #nationalresilience... https://t.co/tm8BlBqanq

We need to get serious about a focus on 'preparedness' across the whole of society. That includes building skills, inside and outside our education system & definitely within our neighbourhoods...

Resilience & communicating resilience = fundamental part of deterrence by denial. UK needs a whole-of-government/society approach to resilience – aspect of the Defence Command Paper that needs to be addressed soon – I strongly recommend the work of @NatPrepCom 8/8

Excellent article by member of @NatPrepCom @elisabethbraw in today’s @thetimes - whole-of-society approach to resilience must include local communities and individual citizens and households.
