Resilience Forums

The London Regional Resilience Forum (LRRF) reports to the Government and is co-chaired by the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Lord McKenzie, and Tessa Jowell, Minister for London and the Olympics. The Deputy Chair is Boris Johnson, Mayor of London.

The Forum is supported by a number of Panels which allow partners in relevant sectors to concentrate on particular aspects of London's preparedness. These include:

• The Business Sector Panel (representing the general business community)
• The Voluntary Sector Panel (improving the effectiveness of the voluntary sector contribution to emergency response)
• The Utilities Sector Panel (dealing with matters affecting the key utilities such as water, electricity, gas and telecommunications)
• The Faith Sector Panel (representing the faith organisations)
• The Transport Sector Panel (representing transport organisations)
• The Health Sector Panel (dealing with matters related to the health sector)
• The Local Authorities Sector Panel (representing the London Boroughs)
• The Communications Sector Panel (making arrangements for warning and informing the public)
• The Blue Lights Panel (dealing with matters related to the emergency services)

The Forum and the Sector Panels are supported by the London Resilience Programme Board which is chaired by the head of the London Resilience Team and is responsible for overseeing the work of the partnership through the London Resilience Team. There are a number of Task and Finish Groups which support the Programme Board and the London Resilience Team in producing plans and protocols on behalf of the partnership. In addition, the London Resilience Programme Board is responsible for ensuring that the plans are trained and exercised.
