Level of Emergency
Level of Emergency : Cabinet Office (2010) Central Government Arrangements for Responding to an Emergency defines three levels of emergency of national significance. These are, in descending order of magnitude, catastrophic emergency (Level 3); serious emergency (Level 2); significant emergency (Level 1). Below the national level there is a further category, local emergency, the response to which is conducted by local responders, where necessary in conjunction with local government. Note: in the case of a catastrophic or serious emergency, central government provides direction; in a significant emergency the central government provides support and nominates a lead government department.
