Hertfordshire Resilience is the county’s emergency planning partnership. Under this partnership, St. Albans City and District Council works closely with other district councils and Hertfordshire County Council, emergency services as well as external agencies on emergency planning issues affecting the county and the region.
Business Continuity
Unfortunately we can all recall events that have seriously impacted businesses over recent years:the Buncefield explosion and resulting fire and the flooding during the summer of 2007 are some examples of major incidents which seriously impacted many small, medium and large businesses. What would the effect be on your customers and your ability to continue with your business if your premises could not be accessed for days or weeks? By planning how you would cope with such events, you can make your business more resilient: it will help you ensure the key aspects of the business are covered and are in the best position to continue your business.
Please see the Hertfordshire County Council pages about Business Resilience
