The Government's aim is to reduce the risk from emergencies so that people can go about their business freely and with confidence. This website exists to provide a resource for civil protection practitioners, supporting the work which goes on across the UK to improve emergency preparedness.
The Emergency Preparedness section has advice for practitioners on the pre-emergency phase, with generic material on key frameworks like the Civil Contingencies Act and disciplines like Risk Assessment and Business Continuity.
The Emergency Response & Recovery section has advice for practitioners on the post-emergency phase, with generic material on key frameworks such as the UK Central Government Concept of Operations (CONOPS) [PDF, 26 pages, 376KB] and disciplines such as Care and Treatment of People.
The Emergencies section has specific assessments and guidance in relation to the broad classes of emergency which our risk framework has identified.
The Civil Contingencies Secretariat section has background information on CCS, explaining our purpose, structures and key partnerships.
