Control measure knowledge
The NCAF electronic support system overseen by NRAT and National Resilience Fire Control (NRFC) based in Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service maintains a 24/7 overview of the availability and deployment of National Resilience assets. Before and during an incident, the NRFC and NRAT monitors, manages and co-ordinates the mobilisation of national resilience assets in conjunction with NRAT, the CFRA National Resilience Duty Officer, and supporting fire and rescue authorities using the Electronic Supporting System (ESS). It will also co-ordinate the deployment of the National Strategic Advisory Team (NSAT) who provide advice and support to co-ordinating groups, where required.
Further information can be found in Responding to Emergencies – The UK Central Government Response – Concept of Operations.
