The National Risk Register
THE NATIONAL RISK REGISTER. Read at your peril…
As announced in the National Security Strategy, the Government has published a National Risk Register which sets out our assessment of the likelihood and potential impact of a range of different risks that may directly affect the UK.
It’s brilliant, and very worth reading:
The National Risk Register is designed to increase awareness of the kinds of risks the UK faces, and encourage individuals and organisations to think about their own preparedness. The register also includes details of what the Government and emergency services are doing to prepare for emergencies.
Things to remember, via The Croydonian:
