of eventualities. The plans and supporting arrangements have been developed, refined
and tested over many years. The UK’s plans are risk-based and built on the principle
of generic capabilities which are able to respond to a wide range of events, augmented
by specific, niche capabilities, where needed and warranted by the risk. The scale
of these capabilities is driven by classified planning assumptions derived from the
UK’s National Security Risk Assessment. A public facing version is published in the
form of the National Risk Register.</p><p> </p>
