The term ‘civil protection system’ describes coordinated national, regional and local arrangements designed to plan for, manage and respond to major emergencies, and to initiate recovery from them. All levels of public administration should be required to produce emergencyplans and maintain them by means of periodic updates.
With most organisations adopting hybrid working, it is becoming more likely that incidents will be managed by a combination of people in the office and those at home. This itself leads to managing an incident over a video conferencing system. Last week I ran a SIMEX for a bank crisis management team.

If the debrief is too soon then there is the possibility of the incident still being managed. It is in use in the UK by many in the emergencyplanning fraternity. Management need to make sure that the actions are carried out otherwise the exact same issues will arise again in future incidents.

Many of the former Scottish EmergencyPlanningManagers have renamed themselves as Resilience Managers, or have resilience in their department’s name. Being well-managed is also important so if something does occur, the management team or organisation is nimble enough to deal with it.

Charlie looks at the latest spate of parcel bombs and why now might be a good time to review your plans, procedures and awareness.

The intersection of climate change and hurricane activity has become a focal point for scientific research and policy discussions worldwide. While debates continue over whether climate change directly increases the frequency of Atlantic hurricanes, there is a strong consensus that global warming significantly impacts their behavior and intensity.
A while ago I was the EmergencyPlanningManager for a large company, as they had many international travellers, travelling to all parts of the world. Part of my role was to make sure that we were ready to respond if staff were kidnapped.

Recently, I spoke to a senior emergency planner who has worked for years in the transportation and nuclear industries. From memory he recited to me a catalogue of omissions, oversights and failures in managing the risks. It lacks a national emergency operations centre. Emergencyplanning is a vital occupation.
As managers, managing the recovery, I think we have to make sure that the staff responding to the incident is aware that they should not put their lives in danger and normal health and safety rules apply. What we need to make sure is that, beyond the life saving phase, we do not put ourselves at risk.

Water industry 1995 The interview for my first job when coming out of the army in 1995, was for the role of EmergencyPlanningManager for a water company in the UK. During the interview, they talked about telemetry. They could log on to the telemetry system and see its status on a laptop, from their van or home.

As an in-house business continuity manager, Ive always believed there should be a clear distinction between managing crises and incidentswhatever your organisation calls themand addressing day-to-day or longer-term challenges that could affect operations. However, we can still play a valuable role.
I have developed crisis managementplans, emergencyplans and business continuity plans at all levels, for a multitude of different organisations and industries. I have also run numerous exercises for senior management teams and feel confident and comfortable running them.
