The UK water crisis: What actions the government and private sector need to take

Emmeline Skelton

Journal of Business Continuity & Emergency Planning, 2015, vol. 8, issue 4, 346-355

Abstract: The paper discusses why resilience is increasingly important for companies to measure and address, thinking about relevant issues such as climate change and extreme weather. It gives insight on how companies measure their resilience and that it is more than a business continuity issue; indeed, it is a board issue. The paper looks at the role of regulation for companies with national critical infrastructure in putting in resilience guidelines and discusses the benefits of regulation in resilience, presenting a case study of the UK Water Services Regulation Authority resilience guidelines.
