Regulation 22 Multi-agency emergency plans
Paragraph (2) applies to a general Category 1 responder if it has a duty under section 2(1)(d) in relation to a particular emergency or an emergency of a particular kind, and another Category 1 responder has –
a duty under section 2(1)(d) in relation to that emergency or an emergency of that kind; and
functions which are exercisable in a local resilience area in which the functions of the general Category 1 responder are exercisable.
Where this paragraph applies, the general Category 1 responder must consider whether it would be appropriate to perform the duty under section 2(1)(d) in relation to that emergency or an emergency of that kind by collaborating with that other Category 1 responder in maintaining a multi-agency plan.
In paragraph (2), a “multi-agency plan” means a plan maintained by more than one Category 1 responder acting jointly.
