 Good morning,



The Cabinet Office have been developing a UK Civil Protection Lexicon, or a
single point of reference on terminology for readers and writers of policy,
guidance, plans and a range of other civil protection documents. The first
release has just been published at www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/cplexicon and we
will be promoting this to the practitioner community in Scotland for their
reference, so that it serves its function in promoting common terminology.



This first release is also the glossary to the just-published second edition
of the England and Wales guidance - Emergency Response and Recovery. Several
months ago it was agreed to focus on getting that glossary right, and then
do a further phase to cover a wider range of civil protection terminology –
which will then include Scotland specific terms. Work is also afoot to embed
this into the National Resilience Extranet.



If you would like to know any more about the Lexicon please feel free to
contact me, or the author Rob MacFarlane at the Emergency Planni ng College.




Kind regards,



*Kerry** Jardine*

Renato, Chamindra and all at EIIF


this is just to inform you that I am co-organising the first vocabulary camp
in Scotland
http://vocamp.org/wiki/VoCampGlasgow2009, where I hope there will be a
chance to gather some thoughts around Emergency Management vocabs as well,
among other things.

One of the participants scheduled to attend is Peter.Winstanley, who leads a
semantic work group here in Scotland.

I am taking this opportunity to invite, in bcc in this email, Emergency
management professionals who attendend the Scottish Resilience workshop,
listed here
http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Resource/Doc/1096/0065262.pdf.

I would be grateful if you could point anyone you think may be interested to
this event, and ask them to get in touch with us to plan further activities

Similarly, I think it may be useful to try to get some glossary work done
from the Crisis Camp Community (crisiscamp.org) and that I will try to make
some connections there too


Speak soon
