Why plan for emergencies?
We live in a highly technological and consumer-driven society, which demands much from industry. Raw material extraction, manufacturing processes, transportation of dangerous substances around the world by land, sea and air and the, apparently, changing weather patterns make it essential that should the unthinkable actually happen the County Council, at least, has a starting point for a response. It would certainly be remiss of us if we failed to put these basic arrangements in place.
