Fire sector responds to COVID-19 pandemic

摘要

PLANS AND guidance for and from fhe fire and rescue services (FRSs) during the COVID-19 pandemic were explained, as well as 'strategic intentions' - while cladding leaseholders urged the government to assist them with funding waking watches amid the economic turmoil, as cladding removal had halted. The NFCC stated that, following the decision to move into the delay phase of tackling the outbreak, it developed resources 'to assist services' in terms of response. These will 'continually evolve as the situation develops and as and when additional areas need consideration', drawing on 'best practice being applied nationally'. The resources were devised to ensure that FRSs 'adopt a joined-up approach, can continue to deliver services, offer community reassurance where appropriate and ensure staff are kept informed', and should be used 'in tandem with local approaches' such as local resilience forums and business continuity plans 'in line with emerging government advice'.
