4C Strategies selected by London Fire Brigade to support Exercise Unified Response
London Fire Brigade (LFB) has selected 4C Strategies’ exercise management solution, Exonaut™, to support the EU-funded Exercise Unified Response (EUR) – the UK’s largest ever emergency services training exercise.
The Largest Multi-Agency Training Exercise
EUR is a large scale and complex, live and command post exercise. It will be held in February and March 2016 in the greater London area. All of London's emergency response organisations, including local and national authorities, will be involved together with specialised rescue and response teams from across the UK and from Hungary, Italy and Cyprus. The EU Emergency Response Coordination Centre will also take part and the exercise is designed to validate in real time protocols and coordination arrangements at all three levels of operations and command: the operational, tactical and strategic levels.
“We chose Exonaut because it is a modern and readily accessible solution for training and exercise management, reinforced by 4C Strategies’ track record of delivering to the British Army and the UK Government,” said London Fire Brigade Assistant Commissioner, Peter Cowup. “Given that Exercise Unified Response is the largest multi-agency training exercise in our history, we needed the assurance of using a proven platform to enable the effective management of every aspect of the exercise.”
Proven Automated Platform
Exonaut™ will be used to deliver a flexible IT-based platform, which can operate on a range of smartphones, tablets and other devices for exercise design, development, delivery and evaluation. The Exonaut™ Observer mobile application will be used by exercise participants, evaluators and observers from across the EU to track the live status of the exercise and its progress throughout the four day event.
“We are delighted to support London Fire Brigade in the delivery of this exciting and ground-breaking exercise. This further embeds 4C Strategies in the UK’s resilience community, contributing to government, military and emergency services’ efforts to build, verify and track readiness,” said Peter Munksgaard, Managing Director, 4C Strategies UK&I.
