If accounts from listeners are to be believed, the new weekend local radio regime in the South West did not cover itself in glory in reporting the flash floods in Devon.
Deep in the BBC's many mission statements is 'Connecting in a crisis'.
It says "Local radio and news services have a special role in crisis communications and emergency preparedness, we are uniquely positioned to support the UK's emergency responder community in communicating relevant risk information to the public.
The importance of building trusted local relationships with our Local Resilience Forums to support local communities cannot be overestimated, our ‘connecting in a crisis’ banner aims to help foster those working relationships with our Editorial Leads."
