Applied Resilience delivered the DEFRA-compliant Mod 1: Water and Flood Awareness Course to officers at Tandridge District Council, supporting staff who may be required to work in and around water.
Across the UK, small, quiet behaviours are signalling something larger—fuel tanks filled earlier, cupboards stocked fuller, conversations edged with uncertainty about global instability.
