UK over the next five years, including terrorism, through the National Risk Assessment
(NRA). The National Risk Register of Civil Emergencies, the public version of the
NRA (copy attached), is available online and has been placed in the House of Lords
Library. This in turn helps Government and emergency responders to prepare for and
respond to potential incidents.</p><p> </p><p>In order to assess the risk of a terrorist
attack, Government works with the intelligence community to gather information about
the intent and capability of potential adversaries. Together with information about
potential targets, this enables the Government to assess how plausible an attack might
be and what effects it may have.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
