During a multi-day event, when a new, previously unidentified high-risk scenario like a severe weather warning emerges, the risk register must be managed dynamically to maintain its utility as a 'living document'. A risk register is a central repository that systematically documents identified risks, their characteristics, and their management plans. Its 'living' nature means it is continuously updated, reviewed, and remains relevant to the evolving situation.
Firstly, upon the emergence of a new high-risk scenario, there must be an immediate identification and rapid initial assessment.
