Explanatory Note
When the Civil Defence National Emergencies (Information Sharing) Code 2013 was issued on 4 March 2013 it
contained two numbering errors in cross references. These errors were corrected by Amendment No 1
(Temporary) which was issued two days later on 5 March when the errors were discovered and before the code
commenced. The temporary amendment is due to expire on 14 April 2014. This amendment will replace the
temporary amendment and permanently fix the error.
