1. Reflections on Resilience Helen Hinds Newcastle City Council and Emergency Planning Society

2. Some of our History

3. Guidance Game  Name some guidance  How many national enquiries or reviews (e.g. Pitt) have taken place since 2004?  Name some changes to the CCA since 2004 (e.g. removal of the regional tier)?  When was the last time you responded to a consultation document?

4. Question  If you could do one thing better within resilience, what would it be?  What support would you need to do this?  How can we make better use of the guidance we have?

5. So what have I learnt?

6. What do you see?

7. What do I see? “At first they looked at us as statistics but now they do look on us as people” “it was lovely…it was our home” “I have not slept for weeks” “Nobody told me what is normal to feel”

8. What did we really learn?

9. Why do we do our jobs?

10. Conclusions  Use what we have better  Question How not Why!  Don’t be afraid of going back to the instructions

11. Thank you Questions
