What were the next steps?
The London Resilience Forum (LRF) provides a structure through which local agencies can come together to plan and prepare for incidents and catastrophic emergencies, including terrorist incidents and natural disasters.
Tomorrow, the GLA Oversight Committee will discuss the response of London Resilience to the Grenfell Tower Fire. The focus for the meeting is on what was done immediately after the Grenfell Tower Fire to bring all the necessary partners into a decision-making forum and to identify any lessons to be learned from how those partners interacted.
The guest is:
- Steve Hamm, Head of Programme for the London Resilience Forum, LFEPA
At this meeting, the Committee will also discuss the GLA’s use of your personal data.
The meeting will take place on Thursday, 14th September from 2.30pm in Committee Room 5, at City Hall (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1).
Media and members of the public are invited to attend.
The meeting can also be viewed via webcast.
