Businesses providing specific services in case, for example, of disaster (8)
I believe the answer is:
agencies
'businesses providing specific services' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'case for example of disaster' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'case' could be 'gen' and 'gen' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for agencies that I've seen before include "Businesses providing specific services" , "Businesses that provide services on behalf of others" , "Administrative units of government" , "Service organisations" , "Organisations providing particular services" .)
