Emergency plans
The City Council maintains an Emergency Management Response Plan that specifies how the City Council will respond to any incident.
Our key partners also have their own similar response plans and documents that describe the roles and responsibilities of officers and the agency when responding to an incident.
A number of plans have been developed with our partners to produce a number of crucial multi-agency plans to improve and share our joint arrangements for response and recovery. The task is made easier by virtue of the fact that officers from these key agencies are seconded into the Birmingham Resilience Team and the plans include:
- A Multi-Agency Response Plan (Working Together) outlining in detail the roles and responsibilities of a range of agencies in most response situations.
- A City Centre Evacuation Plan.
- A City Centre CBRN Plan which outlines multi-agency arrangements should there be a CBRN incident within the city Centre.
- A Multi-Agency Recovery Plan which describes arrangements for a range of agencies during recovery from a major incident.
- A multi-agency plan for dealing with flooding incidents.
- Our multi-agency arrangements for an Influenza Pandemic
The agencies of the Birmingham Resilience Group are also keen to ensure that important and popular sites, and events across the city are well covered by multi-agency emergency response arrangements and a number of sites are currently under assessment.
