Community Resilience and Curriculum for Excellence

Due to Scotland’s changing climate, communities across Scotland are becoming increasingly affected by extreme weather events and flooding.

When emergencies strike, a host of highly-trained individuals work around the clock to prepare and protect our communities.

However, they will not always be able to help everyone immediately. You may find yourself having to cope alone with your family and neighbours for some time.

Community resilience is about communities and individuals using their collective resources and skills to help themselves prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies.
