From flooding to terrorist attacks and a flu pandemic to cyber security incidents, national security concerns all malicious and non-malicious risks and threats that can cause societal disruption within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. 

In order to prevent risks and threats to our society as much as possible, the Kingdom of the Netherlands prepares itself in a variety of ways. RIVM contributes to national security by participating in the National Network of Safety and Security Analysts (ANV).

By way of risk assessment and trend analyses , the ANV provides an understanding of the most relevant risks and threats for the entire Kingdom of the Netherlands, which includes the Netherlands, Aruba, Curacao and Sint-Maarten. The government uses these results as input for strategies in the field of national security. Depending on the topic at hand, analyses by the ANV can also be relevant for other organisations.
