Civil Contingencies Secretariat

The Civil Contingencies Secretariat (CCS) is a part of the UK government that helps prepare for and respond to emergencies and crises. It advises government departments and local authorities on planning for incidents like natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or public health emergencies. The CCS works to ensure that the government can effectively coordinate resources and communication during a crisis, helping to protect the public and maintain order. Its goal is to minimize the impact of emergencies on society and ensure a swift recovery.
