Latest Lexicon of UK Civil Protection Terminology has been published
The Lexicon establishes common, agreed definitions for terms used in the multi-agency arena of civil protection.
Since 2007 CCS has been working with a wide range of partners to build and maintain a single point of reference for civil protection terminology as one of the underpinning elements of interoperable communications and coherent multi-agency working.
This lexicon establishes common, agreed definitions for terms used in the multi-agency business of civil protection.
According to the Cabinet Office, future versions will encompass a wider range of the terminology used across the range of Integrated Emergency Management activities.
The latest release, Version 2.0.1, published this month as an Excel spreadsheet is available here, or downloadable below.
Readers are encouraged to cross-reference definitions given in their own organisation’s documents to the Lexicon and adopt the definitions given in the Lexicon.
