A local resilience forum (LRF) is a multi-agency forum formed in a police area of the United Kingdom by key emergency responders and specific supporting agencies. It is a requirement of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004.

An LRF allows responders access to a forum to consult, collaborate and disclose information with each other to facilitate planning and response to emergencies, and produce a community risk register.[1]

Agencies

Each LRF includes local police, fire and ambulance services; local authorities; the NHS; the Environment Agency; and other agencies.[2]
