	National Buildings at Risk
		Most of the buildings and structures are in poor to very bad condition, but a few in fair condition are also included, usually because they have become functionally redundant, making their future uncertain.
		Buildings capable of beneficial use are at risk if they are in very bad condition, or poor condition and vacant or partially occupied; and vulnerable if in poor condition and occupied, or fair condition and vacant, partially occupied, or about to be vacated as a result of functional redundancy.
		Buildings and monuments incapable of beneficial use are at risk if they are in very bad or poor condition; and vulnerable if in fair condition, but lacking management arrangements to initiate maintenance work.

		A decision has already been made to extend the new BAR Grant scheme to cover all those buildings in risk categories 1—3 provided that they fulfil the other criteria of being listed buildings which are either outstanding or in a conservation area.

	Buildings at Risk Register : Heritage Protection : Research & Conservation : English Heritage
		Most of the buildings and structures are in poor to very bad condition, but a few in fair condition are also included, usually because they have become functionally redundant or are vulnerable, making their future uncertain.
		Many local authorities also maintain and use buildings at risk lists of their own, and follow best practice by monitoring the condition of all their historic buildings, the majority of which are listed Grade II.
		Our direct involvement in particular cases must necessarily be determined by the importance of the building, the scale and complexity of the issues which it raises, and the experience of the local authority concerned.

		Inclusion on the Register does not imply criticism of the building owner, some of whom may be actively seeking to restore their building.

		The Trust does exercise an ethical responsibility to ensure that, to the best of the Trust's ability, building owners are made aware that their details are held on the Register.

	edie news centre - Two million English homes and buildings at risk of flooding
		A National Audit Office report shows that up to two million homes and buildings in England are in areas at risk of flooding and suggests that changes may have to be made to the system of river categorisation.
		Further work may be necessary to explore whether the basis for categorisation of main and non-main rivers leads to inadequate and inconsistent levels of flood defence service across different parts of the country, the report says.
		For the five million people who live or work in areas at risk, those responsible for flood defence activity and those planning to build in areas at risk can be the single most important defence against the worst effects of flooding, the report says.

	Cable Fire Research Association - Buildings at Risk
		Cabling in commercial buildings is frequently in close proximity to structural steel beams – which can lose structural integrity at fire temperatures as low as 800 degrees centigrade.
		Combustible cabling can burn at temperatures as high as 1,000 degrees centigrade — sufficient to cause the collapse of tall buildings under certain conditions.
		The average ten-story commercial building with 100 office workstations per floor can contain more than 1 million feet of combustible "exception" cabling in concealed spaces; equivalent to the fuel load of 1,500 gallons of gasoline.
