Exercise Tempest

Join us for Exercise Tempest on Tuesday 4 November, 09:00–12:00, in central London.

The session, kindly hosted by Jacobs, will bring together business networks, Borough Resilience Forums (BRFs) and partner organisations to discuss response coordination during a major disruptive event.

A Met Office briefing will set the scene with the latest insights before we simulate a severe winter storm in London, triggering multiple cascading failures and interdependent risks.

Key areas of focus will include:

• Coordinating information flow between business networks and BRFs

• Strengthening relationships between business networks and BRFs

• The role of business networks in supporting business continuity and recovery efforts

This in-person scenario exercise offers an opportunity to examine how BRFs, business networks/BIDs and partner organisations can strengthen communications and support local business preparation and recovery through a significant disruption event.

As spaces are limited, priority will be given to business networks, Borough Resilience Forums and key partner organisations.
