Emergency Planning Team
The Emergency Planning Team is a specific capability developed
within the Council to respond to any major incident. The Borough
Emergency Control Centre (BECC) has state of the art technology and
is resilient to operate in the event of any borough wide
disruption. This means it is in a state of constant readiness
(24-7).
It's purpose is to provide a strategic base from which decisions
are co-ordinated and information collected. This will ensure that
informed decisions are made and that timely/ appropriate actions
are taken in order to:
- assist residents,
- reduce, control or mitigate the effects of the emergency,
- support the emergency services, and
- lead the recovery and return the situation to normality.
Council Major Incident Plan
The council has a predetermined response plan framework,
Redbridge Major
Incident Plan (REDMIP), which it follows to respond to and
manage any major incident within the borough.
The council currently has a number of specific emergency
contingency plans it has developed which are constantly updated to
keep pace with the ever-changing environment. These contingencies
plans include:
- Flu Pandemic
- Flood Plan
- Site Clearance Plan
Risks to the North East London
The council in conjunction with our partners in North East
London have assessed the unique risks of our area. The partnership
consists of the London Boroughs of Redbridge, Havering, Barking and
Dagenham, Newham and Waltham Forest. Membership further includes
the local Emergency Services, Environment Agency, Health Services,
Coast Guard and the various utility and transport service
providers.
All the relevant risks and threats are recorded in a document
called the Community Risk Register (
CRR
). Having identified and
prioritised the risks, it allows the partners to plan and
prioritise resources for optimal regional resilience. Risk
assessments take place on a continual basis with updates being made
regularly.
