Regional Community Resilience Group
The Regional Community Resilience Group (RCRG) was formed in 2013 to help local communities prepare for and respond to weather related emergencies.
The group brings together Multi-Agency Partner Organisations from government, utilities and the voluntary sector to work for and with Communities at Risk of Severe Weather.
Bi-annual newsletters are produced to highlight important developments to enhance community resilience, provide an opportunity for communities to share experiences to the benefit of others and highlight key responder contacts to help readers to Get Weather Ready!
The Department for Infrastructure along with other multi-agency partners have established over 50 Regional Community Resilience Groups (RCRG) across Northern Ireland at locations which have experienced historical flooding. The Department continues to expand, both the number of groups and our engagement with these communities to better assist them during periods of flooding. The map details the location of all the existing groups and contact details on how members of the public can join their local RCRG.
