Resilience First is delighted to partner with The Resilience Shift to present this timely event on sharing resilience best practice in the utility sector. Following the water crisis in Cape Town last year and the power outage in the UK this summer, there is a growing need to work across sectors and understand key interdependencies within the systems that deliver our basic needs.

Gil Grien, the Group Head of Global Resiliency at Facebook, will offer his thoughts on how to build community resilience and how Facebook's tools can help individuals and communities manage crises.

A breakfast briefing from a senior executive at Network Rail who will examine current and future resilience challenges to the rail infrastructure.

This evening briefing and senior business leaders’ dinner will bring together an expert panel of speakers who have experienced stress in their working lives, often through dealing with major incidents: they will offer their accounts and lessons.

This lunchtime briefing will bring together top health officials to consider how we can strengthen communities to withstand known and novel threats, and thrive, by promoting organisational competence, social connectedness and psychological well-being -  the underlying determinants of health.

British policing has long been based on the principle that strong communities provide the best way of reducing crime and improving public safety. To make them more resilient as well requires the combined effort of all who live in that community, including businesses working with the police.
