Emergency Planning

OCTOBER 21, 2022

If we look at major emergencies in the UK over the last 25 years or so, there have been significant deficiencies in the response in just about every case. In some instances, notably the Manchester Arena bombing and the Grenfell Tower fire (both in 2017), the shortcomings have been nothing less than scandalous (Kerslake 2018, Moore-Bick 2019).

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). There were major exercises on pandemics in 2005, 2007 and 2016. Murray 2020.

Again, the devastating hurricanes in the Caribbean in 2017 can be seen as part of this change. In the 1990s, we had lots of transport and natural disasters, so emergency planning came of age. When BC started, I know of a Scottish Local Authority which spent £100k on external consultants to develop their BC plans.
