Helping Communities adapt
Caibidil:
The City and County Council should set up and maintain a register of vulnerable people who may need help in the event of a climate emergency. This might be a heat wave or storm causing the loss of electricity.
There should also be more encouragement for community organisations and their establishment. At the moment everything is driven by local people with the odd small grant available but there should be greater support provided with local budgets for community organisations.
Communities should also be assisted to identify risks in their areas such as potential flood risks - keeping rivers clear of debris and drains maintained. They should be encouraged to tackle problems locally and helped with insurance costs etc.
