How is the Welsh Government providing updates to local communities regarding wildfires in Blaenau Gwent Caerffili Rhymni?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning (Siân Gwenllian)
The primary responsibility for public communication during emergencies lies with local authorities, emergency responders and other agencies such as Public Health Wales. During major incidents, including the recent wildfires, the Welsh Government plays a co-ordinating role in this activity to ensure consistency of national messaging.
