London Resilience Team
The London Resilience Team mission statement
'To ensure that in the event of an emergency, the response from all concerned will be quick and effective, with the result that lives are saved, and the impact on property and the environment is minimised.'
The current setup grew out of the earlier team that carried out the initial assessment of London's preparedness. The team has a permanent core of civil servants who are supported by specialists seconded from partner organisations, together they provide a unique combination of expertise.
