Berkshire Regional Continuity Forum

The Berkshire Regional Continuity Forum (BRCF) is a shared forum of private companies and public sector organisations working with Berkshire local authorities. The forum has been established and is designed to help businesses plan how they can successfully survive disaster situations and keep their operations up and running.

The aim of the forum is to promote joint working between businesses in the community allowing them to share expertise and knowledge; and develop shared resilience to disasters in the event of a major emergency affecting Berkshire.

Membership to the forum is free and open to any businesses in the Berkshire Region. For more information about the forum, contact Bracknell Forest Council’s Emergency Planning Officer using the details on the right.

The Chatham House Rule applies to the BRCF.

Berkshire Regional Continuity Forum is an example of best practice in 'Emergency Preparedness - Guidance on Part 1 of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004'

See 'Advice and assistance to business and voluntary organisations.' Chapter 8.
