How to Book:
To book open the PDF prospectus. On page 2, click on the date of the course you wish to attend. This will take you to the course registration link.

The Met Office have a key role under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 to provide information to Category 1 and 2 responders but also to warn and inform the public around severe weather. The courses contained in the prospectus will provide an opportunity for community responders and the voluntary sector who work closely with local responders to increase their knowledge and find sources of information to assist them as they respond to severe weather.
If you are part of a community or voluntary group that already works closely with local emergency responders or would like to increase the opportunity to work closer with your local responders we\’d love to hear from you as part of the Societal Resilience activity at Support Staffordshire.
