The UK Emergency Planning Society is "the UK's foremost professional body for all those with an involvement with any form of crisis emergency or disaster planning and management". Its approximately 850 members are drawn from many fields, including local government, industry, utilities education, emergency services, volunteer organizations, the legal profession, and private consultants. The society produces independent advice and guidance for its members and others through a series of subgroups whose areas of interest include business continuity, oil pollution, evacuation and welfare, Year 2000 issues, nuclear and other hazardous sites, and civil protection in Europe. Information about each of these concerns is now available from the society's Web site.
