192: Direction not to be inconsistent with applicable civil defence emergency management plan

You could also call this:

"Directions about temporary prisons must follow the emergency safety plan"

When you are given a direction about using land or buildings as temporary prisons, it must not go against the civil defence emergency management plan that applies. This plan is in place to help keep people safe during emergencies. You can find out more about what a civil defence emergency management plan is by looking at section 4 of the Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002, which explains it in more detail, and this direction is related to what is said in section 191.
