emergency planning department

In the UK only a handful of county emergency planning departments (Cumbria, for instance) have built up resource databases in digital form and this needs to be promoted.

The Local Risk Assessment Guidance (LRAG), for example, is provided to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland emergency planning departments.

Tom Ditt, a spokesman for the North Carolina Emergency Planning Department, said, "We're looking at a different situation now than we would be looking at, say, in August or September when you have vacationers on the Outer Banks."

Journalists who reported to Gaza Barracks at 7.15am as instructed were told they would not be allowed to witness the exercise, which involved 24 Airmobile Brigade, North Yorkshire Police, fire and ambulance services, the county emergency planning department and 'casualties' from Longlands College, Middlesbrough.
