The MPs’ report into the Government’s approach to extreme weather events is an eye-opener.
The Public Accounts Committee warns that the Government's approach to strengthening the UK’s resilience to society-wide risks lacks the required robust leadership, oversight and urgency. The report sums up the Government’s approach at large when it says it is too focused on short-term reactive responses. In recent years there have been plenty of reminders of the threats that face Britain when it comes to extreme weather. The past 18 months have been the wettest since records began.
And the Government should be looking to empower them given the changing weather patterns. But the PAC’s inquiry found that central government does not check local plans to see if they are fit for purpose, and does not know if local organisations have the capacity and capability to fulfil their functions effectively. Let’s not forget many community groups are under pressure when it comes to funding.
