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:
Bus station will not be moved to the Sea Terminal
Forum explores what domestic abuse looks like on the Isle of Man
Noble's Park masterplan to enhance 'jewel in the crown'
Sick leave in public sector cost £44 million over three years
