Resilient Telecommunications
Enhancing the resilience of communications
Getting Started
- The Government's strategy - for enhancing the resilience of responder’s communications provides focus to this initiative.
- The resilience of responder communications should be tested against the set of Planning Assumptions [External website], adapted as necessary to local circumstances.
- Five guiding principles provide focus to enhancing the resilience of communications:
- Look beyond the technical solutions at processes and organisation
- Identify and review the critical communication activities that underpin your response arrangements
- Ensure diversity of your technical solutions
- Adopt layered fall-back arrangements
- Plan for appropriate interoperability
- Telecommunications Sub-Groups have been established in each Local Resilience Forum area to focus local delivery of the Strategy.
