49: Proposed plan to be sent to Minister

You could also call this:

"Sending our emergency plan to the Minister for feedback"

When a group makes a plan for civil defence emergency management, they must send it to the Minister. The Minister gets 20 working days to comment on the plan. You need to think about what the Minister says.

The plan must include important details like the local authorities involved and the hazards they might face. It must also talk about how they will manage these hazards and work together with other groups. The plan should say how long it will last and how the costs will be shared.

The plan can allow someone to use a special power mentioned in section 88. The Director must give guidelines on what the plan should cover.
