Introduction
Welcome to the website of the(LRF). One of the key requirements of The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 was for Category 1 and Category 2 Responders to form a 'Local Resilience Forum' based on Police areas. In Lancashire, this is know as the Lancashire Resilience Forum (LRF).
The LRF allows responders access to a forum to consult, collaborate and disclose information with each other to facilitate planning and response to emergencies, and produce the Community Risk Register.
The LRF is chaired by the Assistant Chief Constable of Lancashire Constabulary. The LRF meets twice a year and senior representatives of all Category 1 and Category 2 Responders are invited to attend. The main work of the LRF is carried out by various thematic sub-groups, who report to the LRF General Purposes Group. Read more.....
