Risk Assessment

In Derbyshire this process has been underway since guidance was issued by the Government in July 2005. By working together we have made good progress in assessing the levels of risk for a range of potential hazards and threats in our area.

"Community Risk Registers" have been compiled to show the preliminary results of these assessments. This will enable us to decide our priorities and identify the further actions required, including contingency planning.

Our joint aim within Derbyshire is to improve our capability to respond to any disruptive challenges, minimise the effects on our communities and continue to deliver our own critical services at the required level.
