The Civil Contingencies Act

The Civil Contingencies Act is a UK law that helps coordinate emergency responses when crises like natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or major disruptions occur. It sets out responsibilities for government agencies, emergency services, and local authorities to plan, prepare, and act effectively. The Act ensures clear communication, resource sharing, and coordinated efforts to protect the public and maintain essential services during emergencies. Overall, it provides a structured framework to manage and respond to different types of civil emergencies efficiently.
