West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service Community Risk Management Plan 2022-2026 (CAB18_21/22)

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The Fire and Rescue National Framework for England (2018) requires all Fire and Rescue Authorities to produce an Integrated Risk Management Plan (IRMP) that covers at least a 3-year period. We are now in the fourth and final year of our existing 2018-2022 IRMP and have developed a new Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP) covering 2022-2026 [per guidance from the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC), there has been a change in terminology from IRMP to CRMP].

 

During the planning process, we consider our community risks, using a range of sophisticated analytical tools to identify where incidents might happen, when they might occur and how serious they could be. Using this data alongside historical information about demand allows us to identify options to better target our resources, including firefighters and appliances, more effectively, resulting in a better balance of prevention, protection and response activities.  This plan then clearly communicates this to the public, reinforcing the services commitment to our communities.

 

The Cabinet is recommended to endorse the West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service Community Risk Management Plan 2022-26 on behalf of the County Council.

 

Decision:

Following consideration of the report, the Cabinet resolved to approve the West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service Community Risk Management Plan 2022-26 for publication.
