Civil Protection News - Issue 2: Spring 2007
Welcome to the second edition of Civil Protection News, our quarterly
newsletter for all civil protection practitioners.
Probably the most noteworthy event since the last edition from our
perspective has been Exercise Winter Willow, where the response to a human
flu pandemic was tested. The exercise tested the UK's ability to manage
the effects of an influenza pandemic by playing out the decision-making
process at national, regional and local levels, when there are widespread
cases across the country.
