NYRF - North Yorkshire Resilience Forum
North Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum
Community Risk Register
The North Yorkshire Community Risk Register has been created to provide public
information about the hazards that have been identified within the county. The
Register has been published in response to the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and
further information can be accessed through the UK Resilience web site.
The purpose of the register
The hazards/threats described in the North Yorkshire Community Risk Register
are worst case scenarios. Including these incidents/events in the register does
not mean that the NorthYorkshire Local Resilience Forum thinks that they are going
to happen or if they did that they would be as serious as the descriptions included
here.
The assessments relate to the risk occurring over a five year period at the magnitude
reflected within the outcome description.
The risk assessments included in the register only cover non -malicious events
(i.e. hazards) rather then threats (i.e. terrorist incidents). This does not mean
that we are not concidering threats within our risk assessment work but given
the sensitivity of the information supporting these risk assessments and the potential
for use by adversaries, specific details will not be made available via the risk
register.
Risk assesssment is not a static process and is subject toconstant reveiw. The
information contained in the risk register will, as a result, be updated regularly.
