Risk governance deficits and emerging risks
•
0 likes•431 views
The document discusses several risk governance deficits: 1) Failure to consider social factors that influence risk acceptance, such as equity concerns and who bears the risks. This can increase the number of people exposed to risks like radioactive waste storage. 2) Inability to anticipate surprises and risks outside accepted paradigms, like the 9/11 attacks. More sophisticated risk modeling is not enough - creativity is needed to deal with the unexpected. 3) Lack of flexibility in responding to unexpected risks due to reliance on past responses, limited resources, and prioritizing efficiency over redundancy. This hampered response to Hurricane Katrina and the Y2K problem.

Natural disasters are more common and damaging than most individuals and companies realize. As populations migrate to cities, more people are at risk from disasters. Experts say predicting disasters remains imprecise. Preparing for disasters is simpler than other disruptions if potential impacts are identified and resources for mitigation are available. Companies need monitoring systems at regional levels since local offices may be initially affected and isolated. Individual preparation and consistent company training programs are important given increasing environmental changes and limits on government emergency responses.Exact Catastrophe Exposure Management - Whitepaper
Global catastrophic risks are risks that seriously threaten human well-being on a global scale. An immensely diverse collection of events could constitute global catastrophes: potential factors range from volcanic eruptions to epidemic infections, nuclear accidents to worldwide tyrannies, out-of-control scientific experiments to climatic changes, and cosmic hazards to economic collapse. This paper outlines how catastrophe exposures place special demands on insurer capitalization and require a distinct risk management approach. The interaction or co-variance (versus independence) of the various risks, a company faces, is an important factor in determining the company’s total capital requirements.
Middle East @ Risk
This document is a briefing from the World Economic Forum and Gulf Research Center on global risks in the Middle East region. It provides an introduction on the global risk outlook for the Middle East and executive summaries on four specific global risks: a global asset price collapse, a Chinese economic hard landing, retrenchment from globalization, and geopolitical and geostrategic instability. The document also includes a foreword on the work of the World Economic Forum's Global Risk Network in assessing emerging global risks and their interconnected nature.
Crisis communication riverside
A crisis is defined as a significant threat that can damage an organization's operations, stakeholders, and industry if not handled properly. It poses threats to public safety, financial losses, and reputation. A crisis brings disrepute and endangers an organization's future profitability and survival. Crises faced by hospitals include natural disasters, technological issues, confrontations, malevolence, skewed management values, deception, and misconduct. Crisis management involves warning, point of no return, cleanup, and return to normal stages. Communication planning requires risk assessment, developing a response plan, responding, and recovering. During a crisis, an organization must have a designated spokesperson, communications command center, visibility from leadership, and flood target audiences with ongoing
WEF Global risks report 2011
Economic disparity and global governance failures emerged as two of the most interconnected and impactful global risks. Economic disparity, both within and between countries, threatens social stability and economic development, and is tightly linked to other risks like corruption and fragile states. Rising inequality is seen both in advanced and emerging economies. Global governance failures inhibit effective responses to risks due to divergent interests and conflicting incentives between countries. Both of these cross-cutting risks influence and are influenced by many other global risks, exacerbating impacts and challenges for risk management.
Climate Change and the Real Estate Industry
The document discusses the challenges that climate change poses for the real estate industry. It notes that while the scientific consensus is that climate change poses serious risks, there is still disagreement, especially in political circles. It also states that the risks are difficult to quantify and predict in the short term due to a lack of specific data linking climate events to global warming. Additionally, it discusses how factors like urbanization and more frequent extreme weather events are exacerbating risks. While risk assessment and management tools are being developed, substantial vulnerabilities and uncertainties remain. The document concludes by questioning whether the risks can truly be identified and costs of coverage accurately priced given all the uncertainties involved.
Trends in Disaster Risk Reduction (orthodox version)
This document summarizes key concepts in trends related to disaster risk reduction and emergency management. It discusses how vulnerability is influenced by physical, social, and economic factors. It also examines how understanding of risks is limited by known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. The document advocates for approaches that incorporate uncertainty and emphasizes the need for disaster management to adapt to changing hazards and societal conditions over time.
Integrated Emergency Response
The document discusses integrated emergency response and building resilience from vulnerability. It provides frameworks for understanding hazards, risks, vulnerability and resilience. Key aspects of emergency planning discussed include multi-hazard planning, flexible plans that anticipate scenarios, and ensuring plans are constantly updated. The document emphasizes building resilience at the local level through sustainable vulnerability reduction programs that involve communities and address risks across the disaster cycle.

Community Based Disaster Risk Assessment......
The document discusses community risk assessment and its key components. Community risk assessment provides a systematic process to identify, estimate, and rank local disaster risks. It involves four interrelated components: hazard assessment, vulnerability assessment, capacity assessment, and understanding people's perceptions of risk. Hazard assessment determines the likelihood of natural or human-made hazards. Vulnerability assessment identifies at-risk elements and why they are at risk. Capacity assessment identifies available resources for preparedness, mitigation and response.
Resilience managing the risk of natural disaster
Resilience: Managing the Risk of Natural Disaster considers risk management strategies, risk identification methods, and pre- and post- event activities to minimize risk. Post-event recovery is a more widely understood field, as practitioners have a plethora of lessons learned from completed projects. Pre-event planning as a means of minimizing damage and downtime is a lesser developed field, and this book organizes both literature supported data and the authors’ anecdotal experiences into a framework for disaster management, spanning pre- and post- event.
CMD OTC Mitigation
The document discusses the importance of mitigation efforts to reduce the impacts of disasters. It notes that disasters can have long-lasting effects beyond direct damages, including new regulations, environmental impacts, and impacts on social institutions or political stability. The costs of disasters have increased dramatically over time. However, mitigation often receives a low priority due to its focus on long-term prevention rather than short-term responses. The document then outlines the steps involved in developing a risk assessment and mitigation strategies, including identifying hazards, assets, vulnerabilities, and capabilities to reduce future risks.

- Defining a crisis as an unpredictable threat that requires urgent response and damages an organization.
- The importance of open and timely communication during a crisis to maintain credibility.
- Examples of poor communication during past crises like Three Mile Island and the sinking of the Russian submarine Kursk, which undermined trust.
- Best practices for crisis communication including contingency planning, designating spokespeople, providing accurate information to decision-makers, and considering apologies.
Community based disaster risk management
Community Based Disaster Risk Management .
Communities are the first responders in case of any disaster. Therefore, community based disaster risk management approach should be the core of any risk reduction approach. Community based disaster risk management approach (CBDRM) is a process, which leads to a locally appropriate and locally ‘owned’ strategy for disaster preparedness & risk reduction. Community Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) is the result of this realization and aims to create opportunities and build partnerships with the communities to establish disaster resilient societies .Yodmani (2001) defined community based disaster risk management as an approach that reduces vulnerabilities & strengthens people’s capacity to cope with hazards.
Zemc Planning Framework
The zone emergency management planning framework developed for roll out at local and regional level in South Australia.
RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
The document defines risk management as a 5-step process that includes identifying hazards, assessing vulnerability, assessing risk, analyzing impacts, and transferring assessments to a risk management sheet. It explains each step in detail. Hazard identification involves defining potential hazards and their characteristics. Vulnerability assessment identifies elements at risk and why, combining hazard information with an inventory of exposed property and population. Risk assessment evaluates the likelihood of an event occurring and who and what would be affected. Impact analysis examines social, environmental, economic and political consequences by matching impacts to vulnerabilities. All assessments are then documented on a risk management sheet for action planning.
Communicating During the Six Stages of a Crisis
The document discusses the six stages of crisis communication: 1) Warning, 2) Risk Assessment, 3) Response, 4) Management, 5) Resolution, and 6) Recovery. It provides guidance on what to communicate, who to communicate to, and how to communicate for each stage. The goal is to adapt communications as a crisis evolves and ensure people receive essential, easy to understand information throughout the crisis lifecycle.
Emergencies create challenging environments
Emergencies create challenging environments due to complex interactions between causes and effects. Organizational, political, natural, social, and technical systems can all be impacted. Vulnerabilities arise from a variety of sources including economic issues, technological risks, social problems, and lack of modernization or changes in circumstances. Effective disaster risk reduction requires integrated efforts across science and public administration, as well as knowledge of hazards, community vulnerabilities, and coping capacities. Technology can both reduce risks through tools like early warning systems, but also introduce new vulnerabilities. Societal and cultural factors also influence how technologies are developed and risks are perceived and managed. Recovery from disaster has political dimensions along with technical rebuilding challenges.
Rehabilitation, reconstruction and recovery
This document discusses reconstruction and rehabilitation as means of development after disasters. It examines the relationship between disasters and development, highlighting that disasters can both destroy development programs but also provide opportunities to initiate new programs if lessons are incorporated. The document advocates for a relief-rehabilitation-development continuum approach and emphasizes the importance of including disaster risk mitigation in all development planning and programs to reduce future vulnerability and losses. It also analyzes factors like cost-benefit analyses and the roles of civil society, legislation, and awareness in effective post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction that bridges relief with long-term development.

A2 unit 5 – hazards option 1
The document discusses different aspects of hazards, risk, and responses. It examines why people place themselves at risk, the three aspects of vulnerability, and how human perception and past experiences influence views of hazards. It also looks at different approaches to hazard response, including technological fixes, hazard-resistant design, changing attitudes, prediction and warning systems, and sharing losses through aid or insurance. Decision-makers' perceptions are important when determining hazard responses.
Crisis communications - Power Point presentation
The document discusses strategies for public relations in a crisis. It begins by summarizing the Hurricane Pam exercise that predicted the impacts of Hurricane Katrina. It then discusses the failure to implement recommendations from the exercise and the resulting public relations crisis after Katrina. The document outlines the anatomy of a crisis and stages of a crisis. It provides examples from the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters. Finally, it discusses steps for crisis communication planning including risk assessment, developing a plan, response, and recovery.

Global Risks to the Business Environment
Global risks pose unprecedented challenges for businesses today. As risks become more interconnected and volatile, they can disrupt markets worldwide nearly instantly. This report identifies 36 global risks across economic, geopolitical, societal and environmental categories. The 10 risks most likely to greatly impact business are: instability in Iraq, terrorism, emerging fiscal crises, disruption in oil supplies, radical Islam, a sudden decline in China's growth, pandemics, climate change, weapons of mass destruction, and unrestrained migration. Addressing global risks requires understanding interconnected systems and considering long-term impacts, rather than just reacting to short-term events. However, global risks also provide new opportunities for businesses that can anticipate changes and position themselves advantageously.

Specifically, a black swan is unpredictable, has major impacts, and is often rationalized with the benefit of hindsight. Examples of past black swan events like economic crises are provided. The document also discusses approaches to prepare for and respond to potential black swan events through principles like establishing response goals and empowering local leadership.
How Can We See It Coming - Kylie Mills - 440565732
The document discusses the challenges of risk-based regulation and lessons that can be learned from the global financial crisis. It argues that regulators were not well-positioned to identify the risk factors leading up to the crisis because warning signs were ambiguous and interpreted differently due to the prevailing context and ideology at the time. Understanding risk is difficult as risk perception is subjective and influenced by many contextual factors. The best regulators can do is deepen their understanding of the contextual nature of risk analysis and interpretation.
Global Risks 2014 Ninth Edition Insight
Our lives are changing at an unprecedented pace. Transformational shifts in our economic, environmental, geopolitical, societal and technological systems offer unparalleled opportunities, but the interconnections among them also imply enhanced systemic risks.
Stakeholders from across business, government and civil society face an evolving imperative in understanding and managing emerging global risks which, by definition, respect no national boundaries. Conceptual models are needed to define, characterize and measure the potential negative impacts of interconnected global risks.
It is in this spirit that I present the Global Risks 2014 report, now in its ninth edition. This report aims to enhance our understanding of how a comprehensive set of global risks is evolving, how their interaction can lead to unexpected and often systemic impacts, and the trade-offs involved in managing them. Global Risks 2014 is a stimulus for reflection for policy-makers, chief executive officers, senior executives and thought leaders around the world.
It is also a call to action to improve international efforts at coordination and collaboration, going beyond the traditional roles and responsibilities of the public and private sectors to equip institutions to understand, map, monitor, manage and mitigate global risks. The report emphasizes the importance of understanding systemic risks, long-term thinking to address and Preface mitigate them and the critical role of the younger generation. To do so, it offers deep-dive analytical insights into interconnected risks with the potential to have systemic consequences in the geopolitical, socio-economic and digital spheres.
The report features an analysis of a survey of over 700 leaders and decision-makers from the World Economic Forum’s global multistakeholder community on 31 selected global risks. For the first time, survey respondents were asked directly to nominate their risks of highest concern, which placed economic and social issues firmly at the top. I would like to thank the partners of the Global Risks 2014 report, without whose expert contributions this report would not have been possible: Marsh & McLennan Companies, Swiss Re and Zurich Insurance Group, as well as the National University of Singapore, Oxford Martin School at the University of Oxford and the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center at the University of Pennsylvania. My appreciation also goes to the World Economic Forum’s Network of Global Agenda Councils for their important insights, under the leadership of Martina Gmür
World Economic Forum - Global Risks 2014 Report
The Global Risks 2014 report highlights how global risks are
not only interconnected but also have systemic impacts. To
manage global risks effectively and build resilience to their
impacts, better efforts are needed to understand, measure
and foresee the evolution of interdependencies between
risks, supplementing traditional risk-management tools with
new concepts designed for uncertain environments.
Essay On Disaster Management
Disaster management involves decision-making, which is the major responsibility of disaster managers. Their decisions must compare alternatives and evaluate outcomes, as errors can compound over time. While some decisions strongly impact the organization, all decisions require evaluating probabilities when accurate information is unavailable. Disaster managers must prepare for risks and make plans that assign tasks and responsibilities before and during disasters. Effective disaster response minimizes harm through timely actions.

The document outlines guidelines and frameworks for disaster risk management and reduction. It discusses the UNISDR and Hyogo Framework, which provide strategies like developing regulations, codes, zoning, and insurance to reduce risk. It also discusses assessing hazards and vulnerabilities, capacities for response, and strategies to address underlying factors that lead to risk. Key aspects of risk management include prevention and mitigation prior to disasters, as well as response and recovery activities after an event. The document provides details on hazard, vulnerability, and risk assessments and how they inform effective disaster risk reduction planning.
disaster management
This document discusses the challenges of establishing and maintaining effective early warning systems for natural hazards. It notes that while scientific monitoring capabilities are improving, turning those capabilities into functioning early warning systems requires huge efforts over many decades. Early warning systems have six main components - risk knowledge, technical monitoring, forecasting, warning messages, response plans, and learning - which must be well integrated. The document also discusses the value of early warning lead time for different types of hazards and challenges such as cross-border events and ensuring public awareness and appropriate response.

Presentation showing that disasters can be mitigated using sociological and psychological means to reduce social vulnerability impacts including building social capital and positive psychology. These techniques can be used in conjunction with 'traditional' structural and non-structural disaster risk management methods.

The document discusses concepts related to ensuring a safe, secure, and sustainable energy supply. It introduces the concepts of risk assessment, resilience management, security of supply, sustainability, and multi-criteria decision analysis. It then presents a case study from the EU SECURE project that used these concepts to evaluate policy scenarios according to various environmental, economic, social, and security indicators. The study found that global climate policy scenarios generally performed best, though they were vulnerable to certain shocks like nuclear accidents or carbon capture failures. Overall policies that reduced fossil fuel use and led to greater diversification of energy sources and imports improved sustainability and security.Making Hard Choices An Analysis of Settlement Choices and Willingness to Retu...

1) The document analyzes data from surveys of Syrian refugees in Turkey to understand their choices regarding returning to Syria, staying in Turkey, or migrating elsewhere.
2) It finds that as the duration of living as a refugee increases, the probability of returning to Syria decreases significantly, while the likelihood of migrating to another country increases.
3) Refugees who experienced greater damage, losses, or deaths due to the war in Syria are less likely to return and more likely to migrate internationally in search of asylum.The Relocation Challenges in Coastal Urban Centers Options and Limitations, A...

Systemic risks Fisheries management The collapse of stocks of cod in the Canadian Grand Banks, blue-fin tuna in the Mediterranean and herring in the North Sea all illustrate the multiple challenges of dealing with the “Tragedy of the Commons”. Climate Change Climate change is the outcome of decisions made, deliberately or not to increase GHG emissions in favour of economic development. Its consequences on issues such as water cycle, droughts, agriculture, sea level rise, ocean acidification and other issues of concer are largely systemic Hurricane Katrina In August 2005 weather warnings persuaded the Governors of Mississippi and Louisiana to declare states of emergency on Friday 26th, but the mayor of New Orleans did not order evacuation until Sunday 28th. Katrina hit the following day. FEMA did not have sufficient organisational capacity to respond effectively.
