Summary
This chapter considers the components and organisation of civil protection. The first part of the chapter includes key definitions of terms. The second part defines and examines civil protection. The third part provides a critical review of the basis of emergency planning, and the fourth part looks at various aspects of emergency preparedness. Emergency planning is based on reference events from the past and, in the fifth part of the chapter, the key question of whether the past really is still an adequate guide to the future is addressed. The final part of the chapter looks at the growing field of risk and disaster science.
