Devon Community Resilience Forum
what is the devon community resilience forum?
Devon Community Resilience Forum is a partnership between Devon Communities Together, Devon County Council, Environment Agency and South West Regional Flood and Coastal Committee. We support communities to develop their community emergency plan (CEP); a document that guides community response in an emergency and helps communities to prepare. Community emergency plans are also uploaded to a secure website where they can be viewed by the emergency services, if there is an emergency in your community they will be able to view your plan and understand how the community may already be responding, where there is high risk, and what resources the community has.
Alongside supporting plan development we run twice yearly forum events to help increase your local resilience and network with other communities (the spring/summer event will be in-person and the winter event online), as well as issuing quarterly newsletters to members.
For support on creating or updating your community emergency plan, contact dCRF@devoncommunities.org.uk
