We live in precarious times – under various “Damoclean Swords”.
We are all exposed to different hazards – different disasters. We are all differently vulnerable.
Risk is recognised as the likelihood-weighted consequence of hazards acting on vulnerable people, assets, and operations.
The “Standard on Continuity, Emergency, and Crisis Management” (NFPA 1600) defines risk as a measure of the probability and severity of adverse effects that result from exposure to a hazard.
Risk is not assessed as an academic exercise – but to better manage it. To erase and redraw . Where your risk is unacceptably high our Damocles Risk Assessor app supports development and implementation of effective planning – before and after impact.
1. Identify hazards or threats relevant to you
Use it to filter which threats or hazards might be relevant to you.
Damocles supports adding and editing specific hazards!
2. Filter relevant hazards for significance
3. Consider the level of vulnerability you have to each significant hazard – before a disaster
4. Consider the level of impact an extreme event had (or is having)
5. Take action where the risk is assessed as high
