What is the Community Risk Register (CRR) and how has it been designed?
The CRR lists hazards that are a potential risk to the population and infrastructure within the West Mercia area. The hazard topics were identified on a national level by the Cabinet Office, then modified and adapted by the ‘risk working group’ of West Mercia’s LRF to make them specific to local hazards. The hazards have been determined from studying historical data, and assessing the likelihood of their occurrence. The potential impacts of the risks posed by the hazards have been measured by using health, social, economic and environmental indicators, in accordance with the Emergency Preparedness guidance. (More information can be found on the UK resilience website).
