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 Association of Greater Manchster
Authorities website
Information on the Civil Contingencies
Act 2004 can be found on the UK Resilience website.
