Approval of the Generic Emergency Plan

RESOLVED:

1.  That the annual review of the generic borough emergency plan with the understanding that further lessons from incidents and exercises will continue to be incorporated into future learning and planning, be agreed.

2.  That it be agreed that updated councillor briefing sessions are put in place to inform both existing and new councillors of their role in emergency planning and to inform future development of incident management.

3.  That it be noted that the council’s emergency arrangements will continue to be guided by pan-London resilience standards and approach, including any ongoing arrangements resulting from the review of the national COVID-19 response.

4.  That in the light of the fluidity in Covid infection rates and new strains emerging across London, that the council reserves the right to activate council wide emergency response arrangements, acting on the advice of public health locally and regionally as appropriate.
