Plans for long-term incidents like pandemics need developing over next two years
The home affairs minister says work is underway to further develop the Island's emergency planning function.
The topic was discussed at the last sitting of Tynwald before the summer recess when the Island's politicians gathered to discuss Kate Brunner KC's Covid-19 review and her recommendations.
Jane Poole-Wilson says the Isle of Man is well prepared for 'blue-light' emergencies but the wider concern is prolonged incidents - like the pandemic.
She told Manx Radio larger-scale ongoing events are the focus for the immediate future:
Officers and partner agencies praised following immigration fraud conviction
Work to improve mooring at Ferry Terminal in Liverpool scheduled for next week
Manx Care reports major drop in dental waiting lists
Police 'disappointed' to find more than half of vehicles with defects in latest winter checks
