Member Event: Invitation to join Business Emergency Recovery Group SME workshop

HRH The Prince of Wales’ Business Emergency Recovery Group is seeking 12 SMEs to join a workshop on the 1st October. The workshop will take place from 07:30 – 9:00 at Aviva, Norwich (address details to be provided to participating delegates). Breakfast will be provided.

Purpose: The purpose of the workshop is to understand what SMEs would like to help them prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies or crisis, such as flooding, extreme weather, cyber attacks and pandemic flu.

SMEs that have been both affected and non-affected by emergencies are welcome to join the session. We would like to learn about how businesses currently prepare for emergencies, understand the experiences of those affected by past events, and to share resilience resources being developed by BERG.

Why join?

It will help us identify gaps in current support, build the case for further support and ultimately provide tools to lessen the impact of emergencies on SMEs and the communities in which they rely on and operate within.

It will provide the opportunity for those businesses involved to be the first to test and take advantage of new tools and resources being developed by BERG.

RSVP: If you are an SME interested in attending or know a business who should, please send details by 18th September to Teresa Cannon, Emergency Planning Manager at Norwich City Council, ([email protected]) who will co-ordinate responses locally. If you would like any additional information, please contact Hannah Noble at [email protected]
