    Notes on Risk Management

    Risk management consists of - risk perception, riskanalysis, and risk preparedness.

    Risks may be divided into three tiers. In the lower band,

    the public readily accepts risks because benefits are felt to

    outweigh the disadvantages. In the upper band, risks are

    regarded as completely unacceptable and must be

    reduced even at very high cost or, if not possible, the

    activities must cease. The intermediate region is one inwhich decisions on risk reduction are made by trading off

    associated costs and benefits.

    Traditionally, the field of risk management has three

    elements - identification of risks, risk assessment and

    implementaton of solutions and plans.

    may effect average or especially sensitive people or

    systems.

    Risk aversion is the control action, taken to avoid or

    eliminate the risk, regulate or modify the activities to

    reduce the magnitude and/or frequency of adverse affects,

    reduce the vulnerability of exposed persons, property or in

    this case urban systems, develop and implement

    mitigation and recovery procedures, and institute loss-reimbursement and loss-distribution schemes.
