The rest is only my

Thankfully we don't experience too many disasters, but in recent years the spate of major floods has, for example, highlighted just how bad our flood defences are (and still are) despite the known risk!
I have no evidence to back up my opinion other than our track record in past crises which as I've already shown, has left a lot to be desired even when the risk is longstanding and well known.
