The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) provides scientific and technical advice to support government decision makers during emergencies.
A precautionary SAGE is a well-established mechanism through which scientific and technical experts can be convened to consider emerging hazards and ensure the coordination of scientific advice and evidence in government.
A precautionary SAGE is not necessarily a precursor to a full SAGE meeting, which must be requested by the Cabinet Office.
