Risk assessment is the first step in the emergency planning process and aims to identify those risks which could result in a major emergency in Warwickshire. Each risk once identified is then quantified on its likelihood to occur and the probable adverse conditions / impacts which could result.
Emergencies can have a catastrophic effect on business and organisations with threats arising from accidents, criminal activity or natural disasters. Every year one in five companies / organisations faces a major disruption to its services through incidents such as fire, flooding, power or communications failure, flu pandemic or even terrorism. Emergencies can have a catastrophic effect on business and organisations with threats arising from accidents, criminal activity or natural disasters.
