risk to the public under the Civil Contingencies Act (2004), and do so via Community
Risk Registers and local campaigns. Government supports the development of Community
Risk Registers (and public awareness more generally) via the publication of the bi-annual
National Risk Register, which provides a UK-wide resource for local responders to
draw on for up-to-date resilience and scientific information.</p><p> </p>
