Managing risk and uncertainties
The best available “classic viewpoint” of risk management
is one of thinking purely organization risk management and
taking different domains, integrating them to take decisions
for maximizing the positive side of risks and minimizing the
negative side.

Hazards and risk mapping
Hazard mapping
A hazard map highlights areas that are
affected by or vulnerable to a particular hazard.
The objective of hazard maps is to provide
people with the information on the range of
possible damage and the accident prevention
activities.
Hazards and risk mapping
Hazard mapping
Hazard mapping provides input to:
- educational programs to illustrates local
hazards;
- scientists studying hazard phenomena
- land-use planners seeking to base settlement
location to reduce hazard risk

Engineering Risk Management - ERM
In engineering, there are many risk factors one must
take into consideration when planning or working on a
project, such as:
● Surpassing cost budgets
● Not meeting deadlines on planned schedule
● Funding is decreased or removed
● Regulations Change
● Outsourced parties do not perform up to expectations
● Parts do not show up on time
● Loss of project staff
● Chance of accidents and injuries
