Guidance

• BERR - Downstream Oil Emergency Response Plan [External website] The Downstream Oil Emergency Response Plan identifies how the resources of the downstream oil industry and the Government can be used in an emergency. The DBERR conducted a command and control exercise, known as Exercise Gemini, with Defra and representatives of the oil and the food supply industries on May 10th in order to test and strengthen business continuity processes. ("Downstream" means the supply of oil products after they leave the refineries to their use by consumers.)
