The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs awarded a contract to Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service for the delivery of national flood tactical advisor training.

The training was funded by Defra as a one-off grant to the Chief Fire Officers Association National Resilience team (CFOANR) to enable a coordinated national flood response across England, following Pitt recommendation 39.

The Fire and Rescue Services provide the majority of nationally available Tactical Advisors, who centrally coordinate effective national flood rescue efforts and support local coordination when local resources are exhausted.

The National Resilience function of CFOA was recently transferred by the Home Office to Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service.

The contract value was AUD 25,000.
