THE NATIONAL RISK REGISTER. Read at your peril…
As announced in the National Security Strategy, the Government has published a National Risk Register which sets out our assessment of the likelihood and potential impact of a range of different risks that may directly affect the UK.
It’s brilliant, and very worth reading:
The National Risk Register is designed to increase awareness of the kinds of risks the UK faces, and encourage individuals and organisations to think about their own preparedness. The register also includes details of what the Government and emergency services are doing to prepare for emergencies.
Things to remember, via The Croydonian:
Bizznizz:
3.6 “Organisations may wish to put in place measures to maintain essential business activities for several weeks in the event of high levels of staff absence”.
3.12 “Loss of mains electricity can affect lighting, heating, air conditioning and electronic equipment”.

4.3 ..take time to find out:… how to tune in to your local radio station
4.4 … Make sure 999 has been called if people are injutred or if there is a threat to life.
4.10 It is important to consider how you might cope if your land line and mobile phone were out of action
4.14 - Covering the nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing
If you have read this you are now 0.12342 per cent less likely to die in a French river.

on second thoughts, the words “risk” and “Portugal” don’t sit very well together these days either….

Well, Portugal has much to commend it; sun, sea, sand, and if you can avoid the journos, some nice people.
And the journos can’t be there for ever, can they?
On second thoughts…

The Litvenenko case shows that the UK ihasn’t necessarily got the foresight to deal with this - so I think we should just surrender now or go and live abroad! But where?

Arm the GMP with weapons and they end up shooting each other from what I have seen recently in the news - and that was just a fucking exercise! Without adrenalin and testosterone coming into play! Ha!

I saw a copy of the Greater Manchester Police strategy last year - albeit there were loose ends! Ha!
If they think they will be able to contain thousands of office-workers who want to get home for Emmerdal and Corrie after a ricin attack - when they can’t even stop a few hoodies buying beer at a local off-licence I don’t have any hope whatsoever!

I wonder what the risk of being promoted to be Registrar of Risks is?
We should be trolled!
