If Rutland's Earthquakes were much stronger, would Rutland County Council Cope? Possibly not
At last night's Audit and risk committee Cllr Edward Baines Conservative questioned
Debbie Mogg about a exercise that was carried out but not reported back to the committee.
Debbie Mogg explained the exercise was a desk bound exercise she believed it had a theme
of flooding.
The end result was the council found the parts did not fit, the council has learnt and
she hoped the council will hold a similar exercise in the near future and hoped
it would be a success.
A bit worrying if your council can't even hold a successful flood management exercise.
I think Rutland County Council has just been lucky they have so far not had to
deal with any type of serious emergency here in Rutland.

Earthquake Oakham Rutland 22nd September 2015
at first I thought I was being woke by an alert from my computer
Windows 10 has finally finished installing.
Then a quick check with twitter and I learn it was just another
earthquake here in Rutland.
I would like to turn off my computer and sleep but everything
is updating and making making strange noises!
