Business continuity

The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 places, amongst other duties, a statutory responsibility on local authorities to promote business continuity to all businesses and voluntary sector organisations within their boundaries.

Helping local businesses

The council's Emergency Planning Unit has produced a booklet to fulfil this duty. This helps organisations to become more resilient, and helps Liverpool to remain as one of the UK's leading business and investment locations.
