Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how they raise public awareness of the advice contained in their Preparing for Emergencies guidance.

National campaigns are run as appropriate to inform the public about preparing themselves, their businesses and their communities for risks, such as the annual Get Ready for Winter campaign, which uses both online and print mediums to inform the public about winter-related risks.

Local responders have a duty to communicate risk to the public under the Civil Contingencies Act (2004), and do so via Community Risk Registers and local campaigns. Government supports the development of Community Risk Registers (and public awareness more generally) via the publication of the bi-annual National Risk Register, which provides a UK-wide resource for local responders to draw on for up-to-date resilience and scientific information.
