The Community Risk Register (CRR) is a collaborative effort by the CLRF to identify and publish those risks and hazards considered to be of consequence to the community of Cleveland. The assessments within the register are those provided by central government guidance and the additional local risks that have been identified as specific to Cleveland.

The CRR is produced by the Risk Assessment Working Group (RAWG). A sub-group of the CLRF. As outlined in the CLF Handbook, the RAWG uses subject matter experts to produce a qualative and quantative scale against which all identified hazards can be measured. The RAWG then produces a "Top10" list of hazards which is then given to the LRF for consideration. In this way the LRF can progressively address those hazards that may present the most risk to the community.

The CRR is administered by the Cleveland Emergency Planning Unit (CEPU). Who maintain the register on behalf of the CLRF. They ensure that it is kept current and takes account of changes which affect the assessments. It is a "living" document in that it is continually updated and amended as required. But before any assessment is updated and entered onto the register, it is exhaustively scrutinised to ensure its accuracy and relevance.
