RECENT epizootiological events have reinforced the need for contingency planning in anticipation of outbreaks of notifiable disease. In this article, Nick Blayney, who took part as a veterinary surgeon in practice, gives an account of a one‐day exercise staged by Warwickshire County Council, prior to February 2001, to test the official response to a hypothetical incident of rabies.
