Subject: Examines the current situation in the UK regarding emergency planning. Unlike many countries, the UK has no central government department or agency responsible for emergency planning. Prime responsibility for handling disasters is at the local level, relying heavily on contingency plans made by local emergency services, utilities, local authorities and private sector operators. This situation, which has grown out of Cold War civil defence arrangements, is currently being reformed, with a new emphasis on a flexible 'all-hazards' approach, known as integrated emergency management
