Community risks
The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (CCA) places
several duties on local authorities, which are classified as
Category 1 responders.
These duties explain the role of a local
authority in the event of an emergency.
One of the duties relates to publishing a
document that shows potential hazards within the community; this
document is known as the Greater Manchester Community Risk
Register.
The register aims to reassure people that
potential hazards have been assessed.
The register is available on the
website; Greater Manchester
