What is a Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP)
Under the Fire and Rescue National Framework for England, a Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP) should identify risks facing the community and describe how a fire and rescue authority will address those risks and prevent and respond to fires and other emergencies. In short, it serves as our organisational plan for the future. A CRMP should have a lifespan of at least three years and be produced in consultation with the public, fire and rescue staff, local partners and representative bodies.

Welcome to our Community Risk Management Plan, a road map for safety, prevention and response in our communities.
Our plan identifies the key risks in our region and details the steps we take to manage and reduce them.It also outlines the high standards of service you can expect when emergencies happen.
We actively listen to our communities and staff, using their feedback to shape our plans.
A recent consultation highlighted growing awareness of environmental concerns and the value of our prevention work.
Our commitment to continuous improvement was recognised in our latest inspection, where we received an outstanding rating for fire prevention and risk understanding.
Our innovative initiatives, such as partnerships with health services and our False Response team have made a real difference, reducing demand on healthcare for over a decade.
Through prevention, protection and emergency response, we are dedicated to evolving and improving for the benefit of all.
Together we make the Humber area a safer place to live, work and enjoy.
The first sections of this document provide an overview of the Humber region and explain the way our fire and rescue service is organised to deliver prevention, protection and response activities. Under the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004, "Fire and Rescue Authorities must work to prevent fires, protect people and property from fires, and respond to other emergencies. They should also educate the public about fire safety and take steps to reduce the risk of fires happening."
We then describe the demands on our Service and outline the key fire and rescue risks facing Humberside and how we propose to address them. As well as ways we plan to improve our service to our communities through the proposals we recently consulted upon.
