CEP Support to County Council in the North West of England
The purpose of this project was to assist the council in deciding whether the County Emergency Control Centre (ECC) should be; maintained in its present form; developed as a dedicated facility, or; if the role/facility could be achieved by other means.
An essential aspect of this review was an assessment of the capabilities and utilization of the ECC and how it could be adapted for other uses. As part of this task we were required to undertake a review of the control centres used by Local Authorities and Emergency Services across the country and compare the different approaches adopted identifying current best practice. This work required detailed surveys of the facilities and reviews of the emergency procedures and management systems in place.
