What is the risk rating process?
The risk rating process works as follows: a. An assessment of the likelihood of an event occurring in Staffordshire over the next five years is given a score of one to five; one being the lowest (negligible) and five being the highest (probable). b. The impact of an event occurring in the areas is mapped against the impact on the health, social, economic and environmental aspects of our community. The scoring values are also one to five, with one being the lowest (insignificant) and five the highest (catastrophic). Click on each item on the list of risks to learn more about what it means to Staffordshire and what is being done to minimise the chances of it happening and to its impact if it does occur.
