Useful information in bad weather:
Regional Community Resilience Group (RCRG)
The Regional Community Resilience Group (RCRG) was formed in 2013 to help local communities prepare for and respond to weather related emergencies. From time to time during the year the group publishes useful information for the public.
The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) 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 their engagement with these communities to better assist them during periods of flooding. The map published by DfI details the location of all the existing groups in the eleven Council areas and contact details on how members of the public can join their local RCRG.
