Civil defence emergency management planning and civil defence emergency management duties - Duties of local authorities

64: Duties of local authorities

You could also call this:

"What your local council must do to help keep you safe in an emergency"

When there is an emergency, you need to know what your local authority will do. A local authority has to plan and provide for civil defence emergency management in your area. They have to make sure they can still work, even if it's not as well as usual, during and after an emergency.
