Notes

• LGD for Recovery: Emergencies are usually complex events and this table is intended to provide a basis for planning and facilitate a smooth transition between the response and recovery phases of an emergency. Where the issues to be addressed predominantly affect the interests of one department, that department will normally manage the recovery phase even where this table indicates that the lead could lie elsewhere. Any uncertainty should be resolved as early as possible in the response phase. • The Departmental lead for recovery is responsible for co­ordinating the cross­government recovery effort in addition to their own departmental responsibilities. Funding for recovery issues will lie in accordance with departmental policy responsibilities. The Treasury should be engaged through departmental spending teams as appropriate.

1 Does not include disorder resulting from incidents on which a lead department has already been nominated, for example protests over the cost of fuel on which DECC would act as the lead department.

2 Events which have the potential to impact on national security remain reserved. The lead department for these incidents would therefore be the Home Office.
