A new online tool has been launched by West Midlands Fire Service (WMFS), enabling members of the public to explore the data used by the service to manage risk across the conurbation.
Data drives more and more of WMFS’s daily risk reduction activities. It plays a significant part in ensuring that we direct our resources and efforts towards the most vulnerable people and places in our communities.
Our new ‘Risk Explorer’, developed in conjunction with Shoothill, underpins our commitment to being transparent with our communities about our risk-based approach to making them safer, stronger and healthier.
Users simply need to enter a West Midlands postcode to access several of the data sets we use to analyse and mange risks where they live or work. We use the same data to create our Community Risk Management Plan.
