What We Do

All the organisations that make up the Essex Resilience Forum work together to ensure that the best possible preparations and plans are in place for major emergencies and incidents affecting the county.  These are regularly reviewed, tested and updated so that agencies can respond immediately and effectively to any threat or incident, however complex.

All responders work to a set of common objectives which will help to:

• Save lives
• Relieve suffering
• Prevent the disaster getting worse
• Restore normality as soon as possible
• Protect property
• Protect the environment
• Facilitate a criminal investigation and judicial processes as necessary
