Details

The 2020 National Risk Register provides an updated government assessment of the likelihood and potential impact of a range of different malicious and non-malicious national security risks (including natural hazards, industrial accidents, malicious attacks, and others) that may directly affect the UK and its interests over the next two years.

In addition to providing information on how the UK Government and local responders manage these emergencies, the National Risk Register also signposts advice and guidance on what members of the public can do to prepare for these events. Further information can be found via the links included in the document.

As well as using the National Risk Register, the public can also find information about risks to their local area through their Community Risk Register.
