Cabinet office: ‘The Cabinet Office has published the 2015 to 2016 summary of sector resilience plans setting out the current level of resilience to risks for the UK’s critical infrastructure, including water – owing to their sensitive nature, the individual plans are classified documents. Sector resilience plans set out the resilience of the UK’s most important infrastructure to the relevant risks identified in the National Risk Assessment. Produced annually, plans are placed before ministers to alert them to any perceived vulnerabilities, with a programme of measures to improve resilience where necessary. Individual plans are classified, but the Cabinet Office summarises each version into one overall sector resilience plan for critical infrastructure.The National Risk Assessment is the main document Government uses to assess the major threats (malicious terrorist attacks); hazards (non malicious risks such as human and animals diseases, industrial accidents and industrial action, natural hazards such as flooding and drought) and cyber threats the UK could face in the next five years.
