Description
The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 modernised the UK?s approach to disaster and emergency management, taking into account the kinds of threats
the country faces in the 21st century, including terrorist threats and threats to the environment. This third edition of the
Tolley?s
Handbook of Disaster and Emergency Management
has been fully updated to cover the topics and themes reflected in the Act, and
collates all the key components of disaster and emergency planning for both the public and the private sector, covering both man-made
and natural disasters. Written from a UK practitioner?s point of view, using case studies and examples, it helps readers to understand
and formulate disaster and emergency policies and systems for their workplace. Its practical approach will help organizations to ensure
business continuity and safeguard the health and safety of their staff in the event of a disaster.
The new edition has been updated
in line with the latest legislation:
* Civil Contingencies Act 2004
* Amendment to the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations
* Corporate Manslaughter Bill
