The Challenge
Statutory duties under the CCA 2004
Local authorities and NHS organisations carry specific legal duties to assess risk, develop emergency plans, and maintain business continuity arrangements.
The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 places specific duties on Category 1 and Category 2 responders — including local authorities, NHS organisations, utilities, and other statutory bodies — to assess risk, put in place emergency plans, maintain business continuity arrangements, communicate with the public about risks, share information with other local responders, and cooperate with other local responders.
Plans built around your organisation
Every emergency plan Applied Resilience produces is tailored to the organisation's specific operational context, risk profile, and governance arrangements.
Every emergency plan Applied Resilience produces is tailored to your organisation. Each plan is developed in close consultation — shaped around your specific operational context, community, risk profile, governance arrangements, and statutory requirements. Plans meet the requisite national criteria while remaining proportionate, practical, and grounded in defensible decision making.
The cost of getting it wrong
Decisions made during incidents may later be examined by regulators, boards, inquiries and the media. Plans must be defensible — and genuinely operational.
Applied Resilience has supported many major incidents from initial call receipt — through the Partner Activation Teleconference, formal declaration, and multi-day multi-partnership operations — through to recovery and stand-down. Our team includes practitioners who have personally chaired SCGs and TCGs.
Decisions made during incidents may later be examined by regulators, boards, inquiries, and the media. Our emergency planning work is designed to ensure your organisation has the plans, capability, and defensible arrangements that will withstand that scrutiny.
