Review: The Government is seeking to improve the UK?s resilience to disruptive challenge. The aim of building resilience is to reduce susceptibility to challenges by reducing the probability of their occurrence and their likely effects, responding effectively and efficiently when they occur and building institutions and structures in such a way as to minimise the possible effects of disruptions upon them. Disruptive challenges exist along a spectrum of severity ranging from local flooding to massive terrorist attack.
