A vital place for use by BritishRedCross in Fulwood 🙏
. It means that staff and volunteers responding to major incidents can gather together in one place to prepare for impending events, such as storms, and plan and coordinate responses to unexpected events like gas explosions and floods.
“Having a dedicated space for the Incident Support Room means that we can sit down in advance and properly prepare for things like heatwaves. The ISR was used to plan the Red Cross response to the heatwave in July 2022. It was also used to plan and coordinate the response to Storm Arwen in the North West and North East of England in November 2021.Ian continued: “The collating and recording of information on whiteboards means that we can also manage our time better. Briefing colleagues becomes more efficient and leads to smoother shift hand overs.
“There are also whiteboards for collating updates and information as and when it is released by emergency services, information on staff and volunteers and vehicles and where they are deployed, maps, a conference table and a TV screen to follow media coverage of incidents as they develop.“We can do things that can be done remotely leaving staff and volunteers on the ground free to provide practical and emotional support and refreshments and clothes to people affected.
