The emergency services and other orginisations invloved in emergency planning would take the following into considertion when assessing the risk ralting to Newry and drawing up an adequte plan to combat any major incident.
These would be the citys Topography, Main industries, Strategic or teeroist targets, communication or infrastructure, people resident in the area and the past history of the city
As these will assist the services to
determine the likelihood of a major incident, the scale and the impact,
therefore they are able to get the nessesrey resources in order and in place
incase of a major incident occurring. In my assessment i will be discussing the
risk that are in Newry& mourne, and therefore analysing the planning process
for a major incident with Newry and moune being the focus.
