Emergency Planning

OCTOBER 23, 2020

Since the start of the crisis, I have constantly affirmed that the key to understanding the effects of this pandemic is the UK Government's failure to give adequate weight to emergency planning and management (Alexander 2020a, 2020b). Plans were made in the UK in 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2014.

The role of emergency planning. The scenario for a major pandemic was developed over the period 2003-2009 and was first incorporated into emergency plans close to the start of this period. Since the start of Covid-19 we have seen the failure of emergency planning, which is an indication of failure to provide foresight.
