A leading academic expert on national security has called for a radical shake-up in how the UK deals with major crises on the scale of the current pandemic.
Former industrialist and MoD official Dr Simon Harwood said it was time for a new body which does not just try and spot what could go wrong, but also sets out the steps which need to be taken so the UK can cope with the country s next extraordinary / extreme event.
This could be another pandemic or for other major risks , such as a serious terrorist attack, cyber-biological threat, space-weather or the potential catastrophic impact of man-made climate change - such as flooding or other extreme weather events.
