Risk management process
The CRR is put together through a risk management process. This process follows a cycle, and is carried out by the SRF CRR Group - a group of people from all organisations in the Sussex Resilience Forum.
RISK CONTEXT
The Sussex CRR puts the national risks in a local context,
by looking at things like economic, geographic and demographic
factors, whether the risk has happened before and what is in place
to control it. Even within the county, a risk can have a different
impact; e.g coastal flooding.
RISK IDENTIFICATION
Some risks are more obvious than others. There are several main
categories: natural events, human diseases, animal diseases, major
accidents and malicious attacks.
RISK ANALYSIS
Each entry in the CRR has a lead organization responsible for
co-ordinating the risk assessment. This looks at the likelihood and
the impact:
• Likelihood is the probability of an incident related to a hazard
or threat, happening over the next 5 years.
• Impact is a measure of the severity of the potential harm caused
by the hazard or threat, looking at the impacts on health, the
economy, the environment and society.
RISK EVALUATION
After the lead organisation has completed the risk assessment, it
has to be agreed by the CRR Group before being included in the CRR.
Each risk is then displayed on a graph to show the risks relative
to each other.
RISK TREATMENT
A risk treatment plan is agreed by the LRF to prioritise ways of
reducing risks, with the ultimate aim of reducing them to an
acceptable level as far as possible.
MONITORING AND REVIEW
All risks in the CRR are reviewed continually and changes
made as required. The CRR has a review date showing when the annual
comprehensive review is carried
out.
