Local Resilience Forums

Local Resilience Forums (LRFs) are partnerships formed by local agencies in the UK, including emergency services, local authorities, health organizations, and voluntary groups. Their primary goal is to enhance community resilience to emergencies and disasters. By coordinating resources, sharing information, and planning together, LRFs help ensure that communities are better prepared for incidents like floods, pandemics, or other crises. They play a key role in developing response strategies, conducting training exercises, and promoting public awareness to safeguard communities. Essentially, LRFs enable disparate organizations to work together effectively in times of need.
