Category 2 Responder
The Civil Contingencies Act (2004) establishes a legislative framework for emergency planning arrangements at the local level. The Act requires Category 2 responders, many of whom are private sector bodies (e.g. utilities, transport companies), to co-operate and share information with Category 1 responders (e.g. emergency services and local authorities) to inform multi-agency planning frameworks.
