<p>The Government constantly reviews preparedness for the risks facing the UK, drawing
on the National Risk Assessment (NRA) and Resilience Capabilities Programme (RCP).
This includes preparedness to respond to and recover from severe cold weather. In
addition, following any major event, debriefs are undertaken by relevant Departments
and agencies to identify any lessons learned and improve future responses. This is
the case with respect to the recent period of cold weather, where the Water Services
Regulation Authority (Ofwat) is considering the recent water supply issue, identifying
the causes of the problems and reviewing the response of the water companies. The
results will be published by 15 June.</p>
