The main role of Dundee City Council's Emergency Planning Unit is to ensure that the City of Dundee can respond effeictvely to any major incident and recover from it as quickly as possible. The City Council has produced and maintains a Generic Emergency Plan (198KB PDF) that is designed to co-ordinate our response to any incident. This work is undertaken in conjunction with the emergency services and neighbouring Councils, through the Tayside Region Emergency Co-ordinating and Planning Group (RECAP).

The Community Risk Register

Risk Assessment is the first step in the emergency planning process. It ensures that the Council as a Category 1 Local Responder under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 makes plans that are sound and proportionate to risks. The Community Risk Register identifies the hazard/threat, it's scale, its effects, arrangements and any specific plans in place to deal with the effects, steps that need to be taken to manage the risk and it's place in local priorities. A Community Risk Register has been produced by RECAP and is available through the Tayside Fire and Rescue website.
