These plans must state and provide for:

  • The hazards and risks to be managed by the Group
  • The CDEM necessary to manage the hazards and risks
  • The objectives of the plan and the relationship of each objective to the National CDEM Strategy
  • The apportionment between local authorities of liability for the provision of financial and other resources for the activities of the Group, and the basis for that apportionment
  • The arrangements for declaring a state of emergency in the area of the Group
  • The arrangements for co-operation and co-ordination with other Groups.
