About Cumbria Prepared
Cumbria Prepared is an online toolkit for people to prepare for emergencies. It’s run by the Cumbria Local Resilience Forum.
Local Resilience Forum
A Local Resilience Forum (LRF) plans to prepare for, respond to, and recover from major emergencies or incidents in the UK.
Each region will have a LRF for its area.
