Consideration was given to the report on the revised version of the District Council’s Emergency Plan.  It was reported that the Plan had been substantially revised in association with advice received from the Worcestershire County Council Emergency Planning Officer and that it now conformed to the expectations of the Civil Contingency Act 2004.  It was also noted that that the Plan would be subject to further revision in July and November each year and that further work would be undertaken on the production of a strategy relating to Business Continuity Management arrangements.

RESOLVED:

(a)       that the report be noted and the revised Emergency Plan be approved.

(b)       that Senior Officers be authorised to make expenditure decisions in the event of an emergency, subject to the submission of a report to the Executive Cabinet immediately following the emergency giving details of financial implications for retrospective approval.
