Emergency preparation in Scotland is based on the principles of integrated emergency management (IEM). This means putting plans in place that are flexible enough to deal with all kinds of disruptive challenges, from terrorist attack to flooding.

The Scottish approach is set out in "Preparing Scotland: Scottish Guidance on Resilience".
