Resilience

Resilience is key

The Fire Service College (FSC) works closely with the blue-light services, military, and cross-government departments to ensure the homeland security response meets the needs of the civilian community from the national to the local setting.

Resilience is key in a community’s overall ability to prepare itself to withstand and recover from major or catastrophic events.

The FSC works with key public sector stakeholders and subject matter experts to design and develop robust high-end training in civil contingencies and emergency planning.

Training is regularly reviewed against the government’s National Security Risk Assessment to meet current and emerging issues and is delivered to meet both national and international standards accredited through Skills for Justice and NFPA.

Benefits to wider public sector organisations

FSC courses focus on resilience, preparedness, and emergency planning to ensure they are sufficiently robust and adaptable to deal with the wide range of identified national threats to reduce vulnerabilities in peacetime emergencies, crises, and conflict.

Resilience training at the FSC centres around three core functions:

Continuity of government (local and national)

Continuity of essential services to the population

Civil support to military operations.

Effective civil preparedness ensures that these functions continue and are ready to withstand external interferences or internal disruptions and remain able to provide national and local support.

FSC offers a suite of training to local government and private sector on how to set up, integrate and maintain resilience to effectively prepare, respond to and recover from major incidents and associated failure of critical infrastructure – caused by major accidents, security-related incidents, natural disaster, or biological hazards such as a pandemic.

How the FSC addresses resilience training

The FSC is expanding on its long-standing wealth of experience, knowledge, and expertise providing high quality training and development solutions at Strategic, Tactical, and Operational level in emergency response and leadership. It has broadened its portfolio to create similar opportunities for Local Resilience Forums, Local Authorities and Category 2 responders under the Civil Contingencies Act (CCA).

This tailored training focusses on the role and responsibility requirements of local government and associated partner agencies in its leadership and management of civil emergencies and understanding of relevant legislation.

In its work to provide resilience and civil preparedness the FSC commits to the following in solving current and emerging challenges:

Enhancing resilience against the full spectrum of international threats, including hybrid threats, be it natural, accidental, or malicious.
Support national strategic, tactical, and operational planners responsible for preparedness, protection, and response in their efforts to enhance civil-military cooperation.
Focus on civil-military cooperation in the continuity of government, essential services, and security of civilian critical infrastructure in planning, logistics, public affairs, information sharing, communications, training and exercising.
Work to ensure that, nationally, military forces can be supported with civilian resources, including energy, transportation, and communications.
