LCEP- LBFN Partner meeting
When: 23 September, 10:00-11:30, online.
Meeting description:
“Preparedness and exercising for increased UK Terrorism Threat Levels”
In May this year, the UK government increased the national Security Threat Level to Severe. In this quarterly partner meeting we will dive into the practical implications for us as community leaders, first responders, and as a resilience network in London.
Colleagues from the Met Police will explain what the Threat Levels mean, how we can be involved, and the potential community impacts. We will briefly hear from a partner about their experience and lessons learnt in an attack, during a heightened threat level.
Discussion groups will exercise threat level scenarios and pinpoint actions we need to take for improved preparedness.
Meeting Aim: To create shared understanding of the risks around heightened threat levels, and for partners to pinpoint individual and collective actions to be taken now and in the medium term for improved preparedness.
When: 27 October, 10:00am to 11:30am
