Community Risk Management Plan

Our Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP) outlines our current and future risks and what we will do to keep our communities safe. It also reflects what our people, public and partners have told us is important.

Through our CRMP development we have looked at things like the range of the incidents we attend, our changing population, an evolving environment (such as hot weather and flooding), and new technology. We assess current, emerging and future risks, and review how we can support our communities and make them more resilient against these risks.

Our CRMP will also deliver against the priorities of the Fire and Rescue Plan 2024. The Fire and Rescue Plan is the strategic plan set out by the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner. It provides the focus and direction for our Service, with key priorities and objectives that have been developed in consultation with Essex public and key partners.

Our CRMP will: 

• Enhance our ability to manage sustained high demand while making sure we’re still engaging with our communities. • Improve our response times to those critical life-risk incidents and improve availability. 

• Prevent the impact and risks posed from a changing society. Including an ageing population, and increased deprivation levels. 

• Protect the built environment, making sure public safety is prioritised in the building, refurbishment and maintenance of premises and sites that fall under the Fire Safety Order 2005. 

• Respond to the challenge and needs a changing workforce may bring. Including attraction, development and retention.

• Improve productivity, drive efficiency, and work with our partners to share data to prevent, protect and respond
