Operation Stack[edit]

This appears to be disaster management related to the Port of Dover; Operation Stack.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 14:59, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Johnsoniensis, with no sudden accident, natural catastrophe, or anything else that caused great damage or loss of life, I find it hard to consider this freight backlog, caused by the closure of French ports, as a disaster. -- DeFacto (talk). 17:28, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I shall not object; I thought disaster management was concerned with planning so that some disasters do not happen. Obviously the present state of the cross Channel freight services has not become a disaster. Unfortunately once it occurs it stays around for a long time. Brexit has a lot of problems. --Johnsoniensis (talk) 17:36, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Johnsoniensis, this wasn't a disaster though, just congestion caused by France being closed. And this was not related to Brexit, it was the reaction of French to the level of the new Covid variant in the UK. -- DeFacto (talk). 19:25, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That is a sensible way of looking at it but it seems to me that Operation Stack is resorted to when a real disaster like a fire or flood in the Channel Tunnel arises. If a military force attacked a port that would also be a disaster of national significance. (I am not a member of these projects but any better-informed editor is free to revise the WikiProjects attached to an article.)-- --Johnsoniensis (talk) 22:24, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Johnsoniensis, it's there to accommodate all the trucks that accumulate if the crossing(s) are blocked for any reason. -- DeFacto (talk). 22:49, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
