Devon Community Resilience Forum - March 2026

Join us for the Spring DCRF Forum – a free, drop-in event focused on strengthening community resilience.

Our Resilience Forum events are open to anyone with an interest in emergency planning, response and recovery, including town and parish councils, voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations and local community groups.

Throughout the day you will have the opportunity to meet and learn from a wide range of organisations involved in resilience work from planning and preparedness through to response and recovery. The event will feature stalls, live demonstrations and short, practical presentations that you can visit at your own pace.

Confirmed contributors include:

• Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service with displays and a presentation on identifying and supporting vulnerable members of local communities
• JBA Consulting speaking about Property Flood Resilience
• British Red Cross
• Devon, Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Resilience Forum

A programme of short talks will run across the day including Creating Your Emergency Plan, which will be repeated so you won’t miss out. DCRF staff will also be on hand throughout the event to answer questions and offer advice.

The Forum is designed to be flexible so you can stay for as little or as long as you like.

The event is FREE, with a light lunch provided and refreshments available throughout the day.

Advance registration is encouraged so we can plan numbers.
