Emergencies

The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 placed new responsibilities for emergency planning on all local authorities within England, Scotland and Wales.

Basildon District Council now has an important role to play in the event of an emergency occurring within the District. The Council also has a role in giving advice to businesses regarding Business Continuity.

Basildon Council's Emergency Planning Service works with the frontline emergency services and all the other local authorities in Essex, to ensure that we are prepared to respond and assist the communities we serve in time of need.
