A number of council, NHS and health and social care staff went above and beyond to deliver services during the devastating storm
It has emerged some Perth and Kinross Council, NHS Tayside and health and social care staff took "extraordinary measures to get to work" during Storm Babet.
Storm Babet caused devastating destruction as it swept across Perth and Kinross and other parts of the UK last week. A rare red weather warning was issued by the Met Office for Perth and Kinross for the dangerous weather which caused seven deaths across the UK. The Perth City South councillor sought assurance there were steps taken to "ensure members of staff do not take risks to get to and from their workplace".As flooding events happen more regularly, she suggested they "maybe need a weather resilience plan as well as a winter resilience plan".
Acute Services chief officer Lorna Wiggin assured the board there were well practised adverse weather plans and policies in place to ensure staff do not put themselves at risk travelling to work. Employee director Jenny Alexander said: "We made sure we had accommodation in all areas if they could not get home and were supplied with hot meals."
A Perth and Kinross Council spokesperson said: "In the run up to and during Storm Babet we advised managers and their staff to consider options in the interests of safety to avoid/minimise travel wherever possible, such as hybrid working or other arrangements, and particularly during the red weather warning period of the storm.
