are made by local regulators, local authorities and Fire and Rescue Services.</p><p>Where
there are major decants, the department does offer support where appropriate, such
as pressing building owners and developers to fulfil their obligations. Since December

from being decanted by identifying mitigating measures (such as a waking watch), allowing
these residents to remain safely in their homes.</p>
