Dr Peter Adey last week organised a workshop at Keele on societal resilience, which featured a visit from Staffordshire Civil Contingencies Unit, whose Director Andy Marshall and Training and Exercise Co-ordinator, Steve Hill, discussed their roles within emergency planning and the future challenges it faces from changing risks and government restructuring.

Presentations from Dr Adey, pictured, Professor Barry Godfrey, Criminology, Dr Zoe Robinson and Dr Deirdre McKay, both Physical and Geographical Sciences, focused on the future of resilience research at Keele and the importance of community networks within different contexts of resilience.

After the workshop Dr Adey went on to give an invited talk at the (Dis)orders of Credit workshop in Oslo, drawing connections between the governing of emergencies and the financial crisis.
