British Red Cross publishes BIICL study on cross-border disaster assistance in the UK

'Analysis of Law in the United Kingdom pertaining to Disaster Relief'

The purpose of this study, commissioned by the British Red Cross, is to examine the extent to which the legal, administrative and operational framework for disaster response within the UK is able to facilitate potential international relief into our territory, in the event of a large-scale disaster requiring such assistance from beyond our borders. It forms part of a larger study funded in part by the European Commission under its Civil Protection Financial Instrument.

The full report will be available shortly.
