Government Continuity
Community Resilience UK provides the public sector with exclusive use of fully
functional and secure emergency empty office space at 1 hour availability 24/7
on a 1:1 ratio in compliance with CCA (1) (c) for Workplace Recovery. Premises are
provided on a pay-as-you-use basis with no standby retainers or set-up fees.
This is the safest, most secure and lowest cost option for government.
There are 8,000+ empty offices over 10,000 sq ft across the UK in early 2009 and
many of the owners are willing for them to be used by the public sector in a
disaster on a pay-when-you-use basis.
These buildings are a wasted asset and on average can remain vacant for 24.4 months.
Approximately 80% of commercial property is controlled by just 50 companies.
As part of their Corporate Social Responsibility owners are willing to commit their
buildings to be used for 30 days rent-free subject to all utilities, damage, clean up etc
being paid for and thereafter for a further 30 days at a pre-agreed fixed rent.
Most emergency uses will be less than 30 days. It costs the companies nothing to do
this, so they can offer their sites pay-as-you-use. They do seek recognition of their
community spirit in doing so.
