Description
An account of the resource
From the Cold War threat to the Lockerbie disaster, to Foot and Mouth and the recent severe winters of 2010 and 2011, the threats that have faced Dumfries and Galloway have undoubtedly changed over the years. Local government has had to develop strategies for local resilience to reflect these challenges. The Council Emergency Centre or ‘the Bunker’ as it is known, has been something of a constant during this period of change.
