Pilot Resilience Hub Established in Tain Following Storm Boelo
What happened
A pilot partnership was launched in Tain involving the British Red Cross and local authorities to establish a community resilience hub in Easter Ross. This initiative was put into focus following the destruction caused by Storm Boelo, which left roads blocked and thousands without power.
Why it matters
The partnership addresses the need for community resilience planning in rural areas, particularly after Storm Boelo demonstrated infrastructure vulnerability. This planning could influence future operational scope and recovery needs in the region.
