About emergency planning
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.
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.
Risk assessments take place on a continual basis with updates
being made regularly. The North
East London Community Risk Register is a public document that
is published on our behalf by the London Fire Brigade-Emergency
Planning.
