Abstract
Emergency planning in the UK is inadequate, disorganized and inefficient. Recent changes have the capacity to worsen the situation by further fragmenting the organization while reducing funding at a time when it needs to be increased. Suggests reorganization using a central agency as a controlling and co‐ordination organization, and proposes that this could be achieved without excess additional cost by reducing the duplication of work currently undertaken.
