Welcome to the Gwent Local Resilience Forum Web Site
- Chief Constable Carmel Napier (LRF Chair)
Established in October 2004 as a requirement of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, the Gwent Local Resilience Forum (LRF) sits at the head of Gwent’s local civil protection arrangements.
Our overall purpose is to ensure that there is an appropriate level of preparedness to enable an effective multi-agency response to emergencies that may have a significant impact on the communities of Gwent.
On this website you will find information on the membership and structure of the Gwent LRF and the work we undertake, including the Gwent LRF Community Risk Register.
General advice for residents, business and visitors is also available through links to our partner’s websites.
From 1st April 2011 Gwent Police will see in post a new Chief Constable, Carmel Napier. Mrs Napier will replace the current Chief Mick Giannasi who retires from the Police Service at the end of March 2011. Mrs Napier will take on the Chair of the LRF having been elected to this post at a recent LRF Executive meeting.
The LRF would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Giannasi for his dedicated support and guidance given to the Group during his term of office as Chair, and we wish him every success in his future retirement.

Voluntary Sector
Gwent LRF is fortunate to have various dedicated groups of volunteers, who in the event of a major emergency offer their services to assist our “full time” professional responders to perform the duties required to bring the incident to a conclusion.
