We work closely with themayor o London, Greater London Authority (GLA), London’s emergencyservices and London boroughsto ensure we ocus our responseon people with the greatesthumanitarian need. The challenges Londonersace are complex and growing.Economic conditions and theirconsequences are putting a strainon many people and theirexpectations o decision-makers. Yet despite these tough realities thereis much to celebrate. London is agreat place to live, work and visit. And, as host o the 2012 LondonOlympic and Paralympic Games alongwith the Diamond Jubilee, the capitalwill be at the centre o the world’sattention.Beore, during and ater a crisis,the Red Cross will be there, workingwith Londoners – preparing oremergencies, helping people inimmediate need, and supportingthem through their recovery. Bybetter integrating our expertisewith key agencies and decision-makers, and partnering with statutoryorganisations, we can make London’scommunities stronger.Based on our values, principlesand experience, we call on London’sdecision-makers to act and help usbuild a more resilient London.
