Exercises play a key role in assisting Scotland be prepared for dealing with emergencies. They can range from structured events where participants explore specific issues, to playing out live the response to an incident. The purpose of this guidance is to provide a practical tool to assist in the planning, delivery and evaluation of exercises.
This section sets out:
Emergency powers, which are reserved, allow the UK Government to make special temporary legislation (emergency regulations) as a last resort in the most serious of emergencies where existing legislation is insufficient to ensure a properly effective response. Emergency regulations may make provision of any kind that could be made by an Act of Parliament or by exercise of the Royal Prerogative, so long as such action is needed urgently and is both necessary and proportionate in the circumstances.
This chapter sets out resilience governance structures in Scotland. It is broken into two parts: the 'preparation' stage and the 'response/recovery' stage, highlighting the bodies involved and their respective roles.
