COBR has met regularly over the past 3 months to ensure that affected communities get the support they need quickly and effectively.

As the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs announced in his written statement to House on 6 March, in future whenever there is a significant risk we will use COBR systems to ensure that all organisations at national and local level are adequately prepared and ready to respond.
