He added that attendees will have the chance to hear from those responsible for emergency planning, ask questions, and learn how communities can better prepare for future storms.

The summit is open to residents, parish and town councils, community groups and businesses with free entry for all attendees. The Falmouth Packet reports that those interested are encouraged to book places as soon as possible due to expected high demand.
