What the petition asks
Review why areas worst affected by the storm, including Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly received no national emergency response after Storm Goretti, publish the criteria used, and ensure future emergency assessments treat rural and coastal communities fairly.
During the recent storm, many people were left without power, water or any means of communication for days, with some reports of gusts up to 123 mph. The isolation and lack of support caused significant fear and put people at risk. A review is needed to understand these failures and better protect communities, especially those who are elderly and vulnerable.
