The Scottish Executive Justice Department also has overall responsibility
for policy on emergency planning in Scotland (apart from Health). The basic
principle applied in Scotland and the UK is of local management of
incidents. Eight regional Groups throughout Scotland, led by the Chief
Constable and Local authority Chief Executives, make detailed plans for all
types of incidents in their area. These plans are exercised regularly and
all groups have experience of dealing with different types of emergencies.
