Prepare, Respond and Recover

The forum sets out the local public service response plan in an emergency or disaster. We test these plans to ensure they work for individual agencies, and as a collective response. 

In an emergency, we can use different strategies to recover situations.

Identifying Risks

The forum’s work focuses on limiting the damage from emergencies and incidents. Saving lives, reducing suffering, protecting property and the environment. 

The forum produces the Cumbria Community Risk Assessment. This ensures that when something happens, things can return to normal as soon as possible.
