any heads are better than one. This adage underlines the importance of collective effort and the need to marshal the widest range of local skills in contingency planning. Contingency planning, to be successful, must include the actors responsible for the ultimate response to the emergency. The attempt to coordinate the members of the group in contingency planning will help to strengthen coordination of the group in an emergency response - a result that will save lives. This is best achieved through a cooperative and coordinated effort in which all concerned key players work together with shared objectives over a period of time.
