Local resilience forums

One of the ways cooperation and information sharing is achieved is through Local Resilience Forums (LRFs). In London there are six LRFs, bringing together groups of five or six boroughs. These are:

  • Central London - City, Kensington & Chelsea, Lambeth, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Westminster

  • North Central London - Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington

  • North East London - Barking & Dagenham, Havering, Newham, Redbridge, Waltham Forest 

  • South East London  - Bexley, Bromley, Croydon, Greenwich, Lewisham

  • South West London - Kingston, Merton, Richmond, Sutton, Wandsworth

  • West London - Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow

The Local Resilience Forums are chaired by local authority chief executives. Membership includes representatives from the emergency services, local authorities, government agencies, health, utilities, voluntary organisations, businesses and the military.

One key area of work undertaken by LRFs is the identification and assessment of local risks that could cause an emergency.  A wide variety of risks are assessed including flooding, pandemic flu and utility failures. 

Once identified, the chance of a risk occurring and the possible consequences are assessed and the risk is given a score. All of this information is collated to produce a Community Risk Register (CRR).  The CRR is then used as a tool to effectively monitor and manage risks, and to inform work priorities for emergency planning teams in your area.
