SUPPORTING FRONT LINE WORKERS

When it comes to responding to emergencies, front-line workers may often require additional support from the voluntary sector and other organisations who provide specialist skills and services.

From fires to floods, missing people or large scale incidents - collaboration of various response teams is vital in saving lives and livelihoods.

The Collaboration Zone is a dedicated area that showcases the charities, voluntary groups, non-profit organisations and NGOs that provide invaluable resources and support to the first responders during an incident.

Featuring over 90 exhibitors, it is a great opportunity to learn and gain the practical skills and insight on how to prepare, respond and recover from emergencies.
