Introduction Disaster and emergency planning is an integral aspect of governmental activity. Usually, it is grounded on a National Risk Register, which is a report that determines, evaluates, and classifies potential threats to national security and safety. In the context of the FIFA 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the issue of safety became a primary concern of the country (‘Qatar plans to make FIFA 2022 World Cup the most secure sporting event ever’ 2018). This document analyses disasters and emergencies that are to be considered for inclusion in a future National Risk Register for the State of Qatar to contribute to safety and security during the 2022 World Cup. Aim & Objectives This project aims to discover disasters and emergencies in the context of the 2022 World Cup to be included in the National Risk Register. The objectives are as follows:   * To define ten risks of disasters and emergencies that can be faced by the State of Qatar during preparation for and hosting of the 2022 World Cup.   * To assess the identified risks by their probability and the severity of consequences.   * To analyze every of the identified risks eliciting their historical information, current mitigation methods as well as lead agencies and supporting agencies.   * To summarize the necessity of including these risks in the National Risk Register. Scope The document includes the major risks of disasters and emergencies of different probability that should be considered for the 2022 World Cup. Every risk is identified and its historical background is provided. Also, this report mentions the major mitigation activities as well as agencies that are responsible for an issue related to a disaster or an emergency. Still, this work does not include a detailed representation of interventions and safety measures used to address the mentioned risks. Risk Assessment Methodology The risk assessment methodology for this document will be grounded on such factors as the likelihood of disaster or emergency incidence and their expected consequences. This method applies a risk matrix (see Figure 1), which allows comparing diverse hazards and evaluate their significance for every country. The likelihood is ranged from almost certain to rare and consequences are scaled from marginal, which are the least dangerous, to severe, which lead to the worst outcomes. For example, if an analyzed disaster is unlikely to happen and its consequences are considered to be minor, it has a low risk, which is marked green in the matrix. At the same time, a disaster that will almost certainly happen and will bring severe consequences is treated as the one that high risk and is marked red in the matrix. Disasters and emergencies that have a medium risk are marked yellow in the suggested matrix. Figure 1. Sample risk matrix. Risk Assessment The following risks have to be considered by the State of Qatar and included in the National Risk Register. Their evaluation can be found in Figure 2.   * H1.
