Civil defence emergency management planning and civil defence emergency management duties - Review and amendment of civil defence emergency management group plans

56: Review of civil defence emergency management group plans

You could also call this:

"Checking and updating emergency plans every 5 years"

If you are part of a civil defence emergency management group, you need to review your plan every 5 years. You must do this if your plan has been in use for 5 years or more and you have not reviewed it recently. You can review your plan at any time, it is not just limited to every 5 years. When you review your plan, you can choose to change it, get rid of it and make a new one, or leave it as it is.

To start a review, you make a proposal and tell people about it, following the rules in section 52, and sections 49, 51, and 55. These rules help you do the review properly. You follow these rules with some changes if needed.
