Prince William is scheduled to visit Ilminster on Tuesday as part of an initiative to launch Ready Together, a project by the National Emergencies Trust aimed at providing practical guidance to communities in preparing for emergencies like flooding and wildfires. During his visit, Prince William will engage with volunteers and young people involved in emergency response training exercises. He will also meet with members of the Ilminster Resilience Group, which has played a crucial role in supporting residents during severe flooding events. The prince's visit concludes at Ilminster Fire Station where he meets representatives from the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service to learn about advanced mapping and forecasting tools used for wildfire preparedness.
