<p>Local Resilience Forums are required under the Civil Contingencies Act to compile
and publish community risk registers setting out the main risks in their areas to
both raise awareness and guide contingency planning. In doing this, they are guided
by, among other things, the National Risk Assessment (NRA) which covers the range
of risks that could cause a civil emergency in the UK, and provides a list of the
common consequences of these risks in the form of planning assumptions. These cover
the maximum scale, duration and impact that could reasonably be expected to occur
as a result of emergencies.</p><p>The NRA is classified for national security reasons,
and it is therefore not possible to share details of the reasonable worst-case scenarios
or planning assumptions. A declassified version is available in the form of the <a
href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-risk-register-for-civil-emergencies-2015-edition"
target="_blank">National Risk Register of Civil Emergencies</a> (NRR). This is also
provided to the local planning community, and has been placed in the House of Lords
Library. Most Community Risk Registers are also available online.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
