These maps of experience over time have contributed to sense-making, recognition and pride for residents. They provide a repository of past experience and connections for those affected by future disasters, as well as a nuanced understanding of community resilience after disasters for emergency management professionals and the voluntary sector.

The Community Response timeline (pdf) (on display at the LSE Festival from 12 to 17 June) documents community-generated activities over the first 2 years of the response, celebrating the achievements of the spontaneous community response, and the huge volume of un-remunerated care-work that took place.

The Official Response timeline (pdf) focuses on changes in the official governance, accountability and responsibility for the Grenfell recovery. Multiple changes of personnel, policies, practices and accountability mechanisms added to the disruption and instability of the post-disaster experience.

Portraying the trajectory of the establishment and conduct of the early days of the Grenfell Tower Public Inquiry, the Public Inquiry timeline (pdf) shows the back-and-forth battle between the community of affected people and those setting the terms of the inquiry, in a linear form. It conveys a temporality of requests, denials, partial concessions and u-turns.

Like a revolving record, the circular Air and Soil timeline (pdf) depicts the emergence of concerns, evidence, denials, investigations, consultations, and delays, in a frustrating saga over questions of whether survivors and residents have been exposed to hazardous levels of chemical contamination. The digital version documents how the understanding of the environmental risks has unfolded over time and the actions that have been promised and undertaken as a result. Where possible, the events are documented with links to reports, meeting minutes, letters etc.
