Assessing Risk
Risk assessment is the process used to determine risk management priorities by evaluating and comparing the level of risk against predetermined standards, target risk levels or other criteria. It is an essential part of preparing for emergencies by enabling people involved in emergency management to rank how likely an emergency event is to occur, as well as how severe it could be.
Emergency Management Australia (EMA) runs a course for people working in emergency management, which is the Facilitate Emergency Risk Assessment course. To find out more about this course, including when it is run, and how to apply to attend, visit the EMA Institute page.
