The Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP) is a document that sets out how the Isles of Scilly Fire and Rescue Service will deliver its services across the islands.
The CRMP details how we will prevent and protect our communities from fire and rescue related risks and how we will respond to incidents. It is developed in consultation with stakeholders and the wider community.
At the meeting of Full Council in July 2026, Councillors approved a recommendation to move from a 3-year to a 5-year CRMP cycle.
