The assessment of risk and planning against both known and unknown risks are core skills for a UK resilience practitioner.
EPC training in this area for our UK audience draws on statutory and non-statutory guidance extant in each of the four nations as well as relevant international and British standards.
This portfolio includes:
the identification and assessment of civil protection risk over a range of time scales including the use of “horizon scanning” techniques;
the exploitation of assessments to mitigate civil protection risk;
the development of arrangements that can improve an organisation’s ability to respond to and recover from emergencies when they occur;
documenting these arrangements in clear, accessible plans that comply with good practise;
the design and delivery of exercises and “wargames” to elucidate risk management issues, validate arrangements and improve the knowledge and skills of individuals and teams; and
the identification of lessons and processes of learning these to improve resilience.
