In 2014 Greater Manchester’s ten districts became role models in the United Nation’s Making Cities Resilient Campaign. Earlier this year Greater Manchester joined its successor, the Making Cities Resilient 2030 (MCR2030) programme. United Nation’s Making Cities Resilient 2030 Greater Manchester is proud to be part of two worldwide movements that are fostering new approaches to resilience and in so doing helping to protect communities and keep them safe. Greater Manchester Resilience Strategy 2020-2030 - Plain text / Accessible Version (PDF, 433KB) International Cooperation Greater Manchester Resilience Strategy 2020-2030 (PDF, 18.9MB) It has been created using the processes and tools developed by 100 Resilient Cities (now the Resilient Cities Network) and the United Nation's Making Cities Resilient (MCR) initiative both of which aim to catalyse the strengthening of urban resilience in our cities and city-regions. It incorporates learning from efforts in Greater Manchester and across the world to reduce the risk of disasters and crises. It builds on nearly two decades of multi-agency working to plan and to respond to civil risks and emergencies within the context of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004. The Greater Manchester Resilience Strategy is the first of its kind for Greater Manchester.

Its overall purpose is to co-ordinate an appropriate level of preparedness to enable an effective multi-agency response to emergency incidents which may have significant impact on the communities of Greater Manchester.įor more information on the activity of the GMRF and on how to prepare for emergencies please visit the Greater Manchester Prepared website: The GMRU holds the secretarial responsibility for the Greater Manchester Resilience Forum (GMRF). The GMRF is a partnership of agencies including the emergency services from across the Greater Manchester Sub-Region with responsibility for coordinating and overseeing emergency planning. The unit offers a year-round emergency response service, ensuring Greater Manchester’s local authorities always have access to disaster management expertise. The Chief Resilience Officer also has responsibility for the Local Authority Civil Contingencies and Resilience Unit (CCRU), a specialist unit providing expert civil contingencies services to the 10 Greater Manchester local authorities including in the areas of health protection, disaster risk reduction, emergency management and recovery. The Greater Manchester Resilience Unit (GMRU) is part of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and is led by the Chief Resilience Officer for Greater Manchester. This capacity to navigate shocks and to maintain confidence in the city region is also dependent upon recognising and addressing chronic stresses such as poverty or ageing infrastructure that weaken its fabric and can undermine attempts to respond to crises and to create a stronger future in their aftermath. Urban resilience can therefore be understood as the capacity of the city region to deal with shocks or disruptive events such as floods or flu pandemics that threaten our ability to keep on the path we have set for the future. As the city region grows in size and complexity, as new technology becomes increasingly part of everyone’s lives and as international connections expand, Greater Manchester is focusing on how to build a resilient future. Greater Manchester is home to nearly 3 million people and over 100,000 businesses. Urban resilience is the capacity of individuals, communities, institutions, businesses, and systems within a city to survive, adapt, and grow no matter what kinds of chronic stresses and acute shocks they experience”. “Resilience is about surviving and thriving, regardless of the challenge.
