The Surrey Community Risk Register
This page is about the first step in the emergency planning process.
Purpose of the register
The Community Risk Register (CRR) is the first step in the emergency planning process. It had been created to provide public information about the hazards that exist within Surrey. The register outlines hazards and the control measures that are in place to mitigate their impact. Reigate & Banstead’s plans and preparedness is based on the register. The Surrey CRR can be viewed on Surrey County Council website.
The register has been published in response to the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and further information can be accessed through the UK Resilience website .
Methodology
The hazards have been outlined in generic format as this is the basis of response planning within the borough and county and follows nationally agreed best practice. The generic hazards have been assessed for the likelihood of the event happening and the potential impact that may have within the Borough which is used to create the risk rating for the hazard. The likelihood and impact values were agreed through the multi-agency Risk Assessment Working Group on behalf of the Surrey Local Resilience Forum (SLRF).
The inclusion of these hazards and scenarios in the register does not mean that the SLRF believes the risk will materialise or that it would be of that scale. They are based upon worst case scenario assumptions and will be used to assist the borough and SLRF in establishing sufficent control measures to mitigate those hazards. This Community Risk Register will be regulary reviewed and updated as required.
Reigate and Banstead has reviewed the Risk Register and has adopted the Surrey Community Risk Register as the Risk Register for Reigate & Banstead.
