Integrated Risk Management Planning (IRMP)
Integrated Risk Management Planning (IRMP) is about improving public safety, reducing the number of fire incidents and saving lives.
For over forty years, the fire and rescue service provided cover for fires according to recommended standards. These standards dated back to 1947 and are based on property types within a given area.
Integrated risk management has shifted the focus in planning to put people first, looking at the risks arising from all fires and other emergency incidents, and at the options for reducing and managing them.
Before making each change, fire and rescue authorities have undertaken, and will continue to do so, wide consultation with their local communities.
Guidance notes
The Guidance Notes below provide advice and assistance to fire authorities and to those who are developing Integrated Risk Management Plans.
