Lesson 7 – Key takeaways

Thank you for completing this module. Here are the key takeaways:

The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and Preparing Scotland guidance underpin resilience in Scotland.

A wide range of organisations work together  to develop an approach for dealing with emergencies effectively. It is all about having the right people in place at the right time.

Integrated Emergency Management is the approach taken in Scotland to:

• Assess risks, threats and capabilities
• Prevent risks where possible
• Prepare for emergencies by planning, training and sharing information
• Respond to challenging situations while working with others
• Recover from emergencies and learn lessons  

Everyone has a part to play in building Scotland's resilience to emergencies.
