The Square Mile is a safe place
in which to live and work. However it is only prudent to
prepare for those rare incidents which can cause significant
disruption.
The City of London has plans in place to support the community
and the emergency services in the event of such an incident.
In business continuity terms there is much that businesses can
do to mitigate the effects of any incident. Disruption affecting a
single company that has little or no impact elsewhere, can have
serious ramifications for the company concerned. In order to
mitigate against risk organisations should ensure robust plans and
procedures are developed and validated.
The City of London provides services to assist businesses and
the residential community in preparing for potentially disruptive
incidents.
These include:
- Information on how the City of London and emergency services
would respond to a major incident.
- A cordon access database will facilitate access through police
cordons for those registered.
- Information on current and future events which may have
security implications.
- Assistance with the development, documentation and exercising
of business continuity plans.
- Customised presentations can be provided on almost any aspect
of Business Continuity, Major Incident Management and
Security.
- Further information on these services can be found on this site
or requested by email.
- Please note that should a major incident occur in the Square
Mile, information will be placed on this site about the incident
and the response of the Emergency Services.
