Preparations for Winter
2
• Important the transport sector, including local highway authorities, have robust contingency plans in place to mitigate against any significant weather that we may encounter over the winter period.
• In October 2015, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport wrote to remind local highway authorities of winter preparations.
• This follows on from various reviews undertaken after previous severe winter weather encountered since 2010.

Scale and Context
3
The 2015–16 Great Britain Stormswere a series of heavy rainfall events which led to flooding during the winter of late 2015 and early 2016.
For example, Storm Desmond broke the United Kingdom's 24-hour rainfall record, with 341.4 mm of rain falling at Honister Pass in Cumbria on 5 December 2015.
Further Storms were encountered –including Eva, Frank and Gertrude to add to the flooding and damage to properties and infrastructure.

Ministerial Recovery Group
The strategic objective for a Ministerial Recovery Group (MRG) is to stabilise, restore and return to normality. TERMS OF REFERENCE engender public confidence in the recovery process at all levels; ensure effective, co-ordinated support by central government and other national bodies to the work of local authorities in helping communities affected by the floods return to normality; ensure that local authorities and other recovery agencies fulfil their role and that where necessary local issues are considered and resolved at the national level; and support mainstreaming of any residual recovery activity as soon as is possible.
KEY TASKS monitor the outcomes and spend of the recovery support package; ensure effective joined up working across national & local government (avoiding duplication/repetition) escalating issues that require resolution at the national level; and, ensure that inter-departmental, including Ministerial, agreement on the way forward is agreed & subsequently implemented.
