Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms (COBR)

It is popularly referred to as COBRA.
The COBR was established under the Civil Contingencies Act of 3014 and is usually chaired by the Home Minister. However, it does not operate out of the Home Office. Instead, COBR is a division of the Cabinet Office at Terrace Street.
