This part of the site will provide you with relevant advice for your business about emergency preparedness and response.
The key issue for all businesses, regardless of size and sector, is how to ensure continuity in an emergency. Unplanned events such as severe weather, floods, fuel or electricity disruption can have a devastating effect on all businesses.
Experience from the Floods of 2005 in Cumbria and in other areas of the UK in 2007 has shown that businesses that have business continuity management arrangements in place are more likely to stay in business and recover quickly in the event of an emergency than those that do not.
These pages provide information that will help you to develop your own business continuity management arrangements and will signpost you to sources of further advice.
