The Cabinet has published the National Risk Register following its announcement in the National Security Strategy earlier this year (covered in Aprils edition of the Digest).
The Register sets out the Government assessment of the likelihood and potential impact of a range of different risks that may directly affect the UK. It aims to increase awareness of the risks our country faces and encourages individuals and organisations alike to consider their own preparedness.
It also includes details of how the Government and emergency services are preparing for any such emergencies in the event of the risks becoming a reality.
The document is broken down into the following:
- Risks:
- Natural events
- Major accidents
- Malicious attacks
- Considerations for organisations.
- Considerations for individuals, families and communities.
- The risk assessment process.
