On 3 November 2008 we published our draft Integrated Risk Management Plan for 2009/10. The plan, titled
Making Kent Safer|, contains an update on the changes we made lasy year and outlines some proposals on how we plan to improve the services we deliver to the community including:
• What a fire station may look like in the future
• Proposals to increase water rescue training

Consultation on the plan has now closed.

What is an Integrated Risk Management Plan?
An Integrated Risk Management Plan (IRMP) is a document which outlines how a fire and rescue service intends to change the services it provides the community. It focuses upon what needs to be done to reduce risk to life and how to make the best use of resources.
All Fire & Rescue Authorities are required by Government to produce an IRMP. In 2005 the Government agreed we could produce a three year rolling plan which allows us to look at more complex issues for a wide range of activities. Moving to a three year plan has also allowed us to bring together our 3 year plans relating to finance, asset management and how we develop our workforce.
