Grampian Resilience Group

Assistance with debris, fallen branches, minor road hazards and helping people get moving safely (where appropriate).

Welfare checks, signposting, and support for vulnerable people during challenging conditions.

Updates, advice, and coordination support — especially where conditions are changing quickly.

Grampian Resilience Group acts as a central point of contact for local resilience groups across the area. We help coordinate updates, share reliable information, and connect people to the right support — quickly and safely.

• One contact number for referrals and signposting
