Within the UK, BS 25999-2:2007 and BS 25999-1:2006 were being used for business continuity management across all organizations, industries and sectors. These documents give a practical plan to deal with most eventualities—from extreme weather conditions to terrorism, IT system failure, and staff sickness.<ref>British Standards Institution (2006).

In 2004, following crises in the preceding years, the UK government passed the [[Civil Contingencies Act 2004|Civil Contingencies Act of 2004]]: Businesses must have continuity planning measures to survive and continue to thrive whilst working towards keeping the incident as minimal as possible.
The Act was separated into two parts: 
Part 1: civil protection, covering roles & responsibilities for local responders
Part 2: emergency powers.<ref>Cabinet Office. (2004). overview of the Act. In: Civil Contingencies Secretariat Civil Contingencies Act 2004: a short. London: Civil Contingencies Secretariat</ref>
