About The Community Risk Register
The following text is an extract from 'preparing Scotland', published by the Scottish Government.
4.3.1 Risk assessment provides a rational basis for prioritisation of objectives, work programmes and resource allocation. Responders must assess the likelihood and impact of risks in their area. They must collaborate in producing a Community Risk Register that must be maintained.
4.3.2 Scottish Ministers may issue guidance on the likelihood or impact of an emergency or an assessment of the risk of an emergency. Local responders must take into account any guidance and adopt any assessment as their own.
4.3.3 Category 1 responders must consider the impact of risks upon their functions and review the effectiveness of their planning and their ability to respond to those risks.
4.3.4 Responders do not require a discrete plan for every risk. If generic plans can cope with the impacts no additional planning is necessary. If they cannot cope specific plans may be required.
The above information provides the key guidance for the Highlands and Islands Strategic Co-ordinating Group for the process of assessing the risks in the region. The complete detailed process and all the neccessary attached information referring to all the aspects of the risk management process is detailed in the attached HISCG Community Risk Register PDF document:
