Review Note

 National risk assessments (NRAs) provide valuable insights into potential risk scenarios, influencing decisions for households and businesses. While an increasing number of countries make NRA results public to raise awareness, independent third-party reviews are generally restricted due to security-sensitive information. Disagreements exist on whether results should only be shared with policymakers or used to inform the public. Some argue that NRAs can enhance public perception of risks, though the connection to increased trust in risk management policies is not evident. A minority believes in more localized risk communication rather than disseminating NRA results.
