BENCHMARKING/SELF-ASSESSMENT
Audit Commission
http://www.audit-commission.gov.uk/emergencyplanning/index.asp
This self assessment is an optional tool for local authorities. It aims to
provide a framework against which authorities can review current
performance and identify areas for improvement in the light of the Civil Contingencies Act. The act raises the
profile and importance of planning for emergencies. It creates a statutory
framework for local authorities and their emergency service partners,
building on existing joint strategic arrangements and adding some new
duties. This makes it an appropriate time for authorities to assess their
current performance.
