Illustration for Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

You will be part of a group that helps make decisions about emergencies. The group that organises this is called an administering authority. They help with tasks like administration. You need to know what tasks the administering authority does. These tasks include things required by the Emergency Management Bill and the Local Government Act 2002. They also include tasks required by other laws that apply to joint committees. The group decides how much these tasks cost. Unless the group agrees otherwise, each member pays an equal share of the cost. This means you pay the same amount as everyone else in the group.
