What do we need to think about when Planning
for Major Incidents.
1.What type of Major Incident poses a Risk to
us?
This is very important because different major
incidents effect people in different ways
around the world. Risk assessments are done
to identify what the risks are to the UK.
 Risks
can be local, regional or national. They
can effect people, environments, Cities or
animals. Major Incidents have to be
identified so as the Emergency services can
deal effectively with the Major Incident.

P6: Explain the main considerations when planning

1.What type of Major Incident poses a Risk to us?
2.Can we Prevent the Major Incident from
Happening?
3.If we can t prevent it from happening can we
minimise the damage?
4. Who do we need to respond?
1. Flooding is a serious risk to the UK.
Why is it and who would it affect?
2. Can it be prevented?
Flooding is a natural event and so it is difficult to
prevent. Flood defences can be put in place to
prevent it or diverting rivers so as to send the
water into other areas.
Very expensive and would take a lot of time to
carry out.
2. If it can t be prevented can the potential
damage be minimised?

Yes! If we have good plans in place then the
scale of the damage of flooding can be reduced.
Having lots of sandbags for people, having the
emergency services ready with all the
appropriate kit and trained to use it. Make sure
traffic diversions are put in place and evacuate
areas quickly. Boats made available to get
people out of areas and have food, water and
shelter ready for people. Make sure diseases don
t spread through medicine and drugs.
