An effective response to most civil emergencies, from terrorist incidents to floods, fires and road traffic accidents, relies upon a close working relationship between the industry services and organisations. Now in its third year, The Emergency Services Show is the definitive event for promoting multi agency collaboration within the UK’s emergency services. The 2008 event combines an extensive industry Exhibition with a dedicated and comprehensive Conference and is a must for anyone involved with the emergency planning for their organisation.
Journey To The Destination Challenges for Resilience in the 21st Century
The 4th Annual HazMat and CBRNE Emergency Responders Conferencewill offer a variety of first responder and emergency leadership topics. Aimed at the practioner, the conference will enhance your knowledge and abilities in hazard planning and decision making when faced with complex incident management situations experienced with hazmat and CBRN incidents. HazMat 2008 will also provide insight into current thinking and emerging technologies related to hazmat/CBRN response.
The Disaster Response Challenge is a unique two-day event exclusive to the British Red Cross. It provides an opportunity for participants to experience firsthand the issues and decisions faced by the British Red Cross Emergency Response Unit (ERU) – something that only a handful of people get to experience in a lifetime.
The media has a vital role to play during emergencies such as major terrorist attacks, large-scale flooding or pandemic flu and also in their immediate aftermath. The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 places upon the Government a duty to communicate with the public, but gives little guidance on how this should be done, or through what media such messages are best delivered. During an emergency, those caught up in events are much more likely to turn to 24 news channels and local radio than to Government or Local Authority sources.
