A multi-agency partnership, the Cumbria Local Resilience Forum, plans for and responds to major incidents. For more detailed and updated information on emergencies, please visit http://www.cumbria.gov.uk/emergencyplanning/crf.asp

Can your business help in a major incident?

Cumbria has experienced some extreme weather in the last decade and this has led to major incidents being declared. In a major incident we will use our emergency plans to respond to the immediate challenge and once this has been met, plan the recovery.
We assess, plan for, respond to and recover from emergencies through the Cumbria Resilience Forum .This forum is a partnership of organisations and agencies involved with emergency response in our communities.

The partnership includes the voluntary sector, these organisations play an increasingly important role in response and recovery.
There is an opportunity for your business to join the forum and help local communities during a major incident.

If you are interested, please complete the Protocol Document listed in Downloadable Documents. 

On completion please send to [email protected]

We will contact you to discuss your offer and work with you to establish a clear understanding of the opportunity.

Business Continuity Management

Business Continuity Management is about identifying those parts of your organisation that you can't afford to lose and planning how to maintain these if an incident occurs. For further information please see the Business Continuity Management Toolkit.
