What does the Hampshire and Isle of Wight LRF do in an Emergency?

If it is a 'major' incident requiring the attendance of more than one agency, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Local Resilience Forum will operate at three levels:

Bronze (Operational)
Each agency will provide a suitable level of management at the incident.

Silver (Tactical)
Each agency will provide a suitable level of management to form a Silver Command Team. This team will operate remotely from the incident and will be responsible for providing tactical guidance and resources. The Silver Command Team will ensure that pre-determined contingency plans are correctly followed.

Gold (Strategic)
Each agency will provide a suitable level of management, normally at executive level,  who will operate remotely from the incident. This Gold Command Team will determine the overall strategy for resolving the incident and returning back to normality.
