Birmingham Resilience Team
The Birmingham Resilience Team (BRT) currently has 15 members of staff and we have responsibility for:
- Planning for different types of emergencies
- Maintaining a 24/7 Duty Officer System
- Responding to emergencies when they occur
The team has two functions. Firstly we addresses the need to ensure that emergency planning arrangements within Birmingham City Council are fit for purpose.
Secondly we develop partnerships by aiming to ensure that all agencies with a role to play in emergency planning arrangements plan and work effectively together.
To achieve these, we are made up of officers from the City Council, the Police and Fire Services, and the National Health Service (NHS).
We are hosted by Birmingham City Council and based in the Council House.
We have also developed a wider group of officers from agencies that have a role to play in emergency planning and response, including other government agencies, transport providers, voluntary groups and community and faith groups.
