Emergency Planning in Lincolnshire
Emergency Planning in Lincolnshire is co-ordinated by our Emergency Planning and Business Continuity Service.
What we do
- We plan and prepare
We work with our partners across the county as members of the Lincolnshire Resilience Forum (LRF) to create emergency plans, business continuity arrangements, conduct training and deliver multi-agency exercises. This helps ensure that organisations and responders know what to do when an incident happens.
- We respond when emergencies occur
Our service provides on‑call duty officers, supports command teams, and operates the County Emergency Centre. During an incident, we work closely with our LRF partner organisations including the emergency services, voluntary groups, community groups and local authorities to coordinate a fast, effective response.
- We learn and improve
After every emergency, we review what happened and update our plans, training and procedures. This helps the wider LRF continually strengthen how we respond to future emergencies.
Understanding the Risks in Lincolnshire
The UK Government produces a national assessment of risks that could lead to civil emergencies. Locally we use this information along with our own assessments to identify and prioritise the risks most relevant to Lincolnshire.
To help everyone stay informed we publish a Community Risk Register this explains:
- The main risks that could affect Lincolnshire
- What local responders are doing to manage them
- What the potential impacts might be
- How you can prepare and stay safe
