The Dorset Civil Contingencies Unit (CCU)

This small team sits at the heart of the Dorset Local Resilience Forum (LRF)

We are an experienced team of emergency planners who support front line public services such as the police, fire, coastguard and ambulance, local Councils, health services and the Environment Agency in planning for, responding to and recovering from emergency incidents.  We make up the Dorset Civil Contingencies Unit (CCU) and form part of the Dorset Local Resilience Forum (DLRF).

The CCU has four main roles:

  • To provide a 24hr 365 day a year on-call ability to bring front line agencies together in an emergency and provide response advice
  • To assess local and national risks and write Dorset Prepared Multi-Agency Response Plans in preparation
  • To provide training and arrange opportunities for staff to rehearse and practice incident response procedures
  • To support all Local Resilience forum meetings
