Local Resilience Forum (Lrf)
Although the Local Resilience Forum (LRF) only came into being in April 2005, in essence the group has operating for some time as the Major Incidents Co-ordinating Group. The original group was established in 1990 in recognition of the need for integrated emergency management procedures. It has provided a forum for the co-ordination of the 'Emergency Services and the Local Authorities' response to major emergencies in Gloucestershire. Now with only minor changes to the structure of the sub-groups it has transformed into the LRF. The groups are now beginning the significant work needed to comply with the new Civil Contingencies Act.

There is currently rising concern that a new influenza virus with pandemic potential will emerge and spread, and a further pandemic can be expected. When that will be is not known, but the consequences, when it does, will be serious. Around a quarter of the population could be affected, with over 50,000 deaths in the UK alone. This could be over one or more waves, each lasting around 3 months.
