Civil defence emergency management planning and civil defence emergency management duties - Civil defence emergency management group plans

53: Civil defence emergency management group plan must not be inconsistent with national civil defence emergency management strategy and must take account of Director's guidelines, codes, or technical standards

You could also call this:

"Local emergency plans must match the national emergency plan and follow the Director's rules."

When you make a civil defence emergency management group plan, it must match the national civil defence emergency management strategy that is in place at the time. You have to make sure your plan does not disagree with this strategy. Your plan must also consider the guidelines, codes, or technical standards given by the Director under the Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002.

You need to check the national strategy and the Director's guidelines when making your plan. This will help you make a good plan that works with the national strategy and the Director's guidelines. The Director's guidelines, codes, or technical standards are important to think about when making your plan.
