📣 Issue 7 of the UK Resilience Lessons Digest – Out today! 📰

We are excited to announce that Issue 7 of the UK Resilience Lessons Digest is now available to download. The theme ‘Learning in Community’ - explores what makes communities more resilient in the face of emergencies.

We are delighted that we can feature a foreword from Zainab Agha for Resilience at the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG).

Drawing on 186 lessons from 19 reports spanning 12 years, the Digest identifies five key themes:
🤝 Understanding Communities - communities are active partners in resilience, not passive recipients of aid
🚨 Response & Recovery - strong social networks and clear communication are just as vital as resources
📋 Emergency Planning - flexible, locally-informed plans outperform static, one-size-fits-all approaches
🏛️ Governance & Assurance - clear accountability builds trust and keeps communities engaged
💰 Investment & Integration - sustainable funding aligned to local priorities delivers lasting impact

Other features include key case studies - flood resilience work in Loftus, lessons from the 2024 civil unrest following the Southport stabbings, research on young people with additional support needs, and evidence that every £1 invested in societal resilience generates £35.12 in public value.

The core message? Resilience can never be delivered into communities - it must be built together.

🗣️ Have your say! - The National Exercising Hub 🗨️

At the one‑year anniversary celebration of the UK Resilience Academy, we announced the forthcoming National Exercising Hub - a new national capability designed to strengthen exercising practice across the UK resilience system.

That evening we began the groundwork for a long‑term conversation about what a National Exercising Hub should look like and how it can best support partners across sectors.

We shared some initial scoping questions to open that dialogue, and we committed to creating further opportunities for partners to shape the Hub as it develops.

We are now inviting colleagues from across the resilience, emergency planning, and wider system to share their insights, needs, and ideas.

🗳️ The questions are open until 01 July 📆

Your input will guide the next phase of design and iteration, have your say here: https://www.menti.com/al566tzgx4vu?source=qr-page

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the anniversary event and contributed to the early discussions.

We look forward to continuing this work together as we build a national exercising capability that is consistent, inclusive, and genuinely useful for the whole of society.

Think your leadership culture can handle crisis? Think again!

Plans don’t make decisions. People do.

In disruption:
• Information is incomplete
• Reputational pressure builds fast
• Trade-offs carry real consequence
• Uncertainty is constant

Yet many organisations still rely on rigid hierarchy, delayed communication and risk-averse escalation.

The organisations that perform well under pressure demonstrate:
✔ Early, transparent communication
✔ Empowerment of subject matter experts
✔ Rapid decision cycles
✔ Psychological safety in crisis rooms
✔ Willingness to adapt strategy in real time

The term “antifragile”, popularised by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, describes systems that improve through stress.

Resilient leadership cultures don’t just survive disruption. They learn because of it.

At the UK Resilience Academy, we work with leaders to strengthen crisis decision-making, challenge behavioural assumptions and build adaptive capability - not just crisis documentation.

Because in a real incident, culture determines resilience.

“In our experience, the most significant resilience gap is rarely documentation - it’s decision-making under ambiguity.”
