Dorset Local Resilience Forum (LRF) will be hosting several community resilience awareness raising sessions, running between 7th March and 11th March 2022.

The Dorset LRF is a multi-agency partnership made up of local councils, Emergency Services and NHS organisations, National bodies, utility companies and transport providers and voluntary and community groups.

The Dorset Prepared Community Resilience Workshop links in and works closely with our communities to deliver advice, support and training to help enhance local resilience to emergencies and incidents.

Following the success of the two-day event held in 2021, this year will see a week-long series of online events and awareness raising with our partner organisations. The subjects will include:

• Flooding and the Flood Warden scheme in Dorset

• Climate change

• Avoiding scams

• Cyber security

• Volunteering in the Community

• Counter Terrorism

• Community Resilience and Emergency Planning

• Fire Safety and Safe & Well advice

• Utility companies and how they plan for incidents

The events will be a range of live and pre-recorded presentations with Question and Answer (Q&A) sessions between Monday and Friday, starting at 09:30 am each day.

There will be sessions available throughout the morning and afternoons and some evenings, please see the schedule below for more details.
