Possible Courses of Action |
Risk Perception
Different people think about risk in different ways. Some may prefer an objective, analytical approach, whereas others may emphasise factors such as:
- Capability to control the risk;
- Whether exposure to the risk is voluntary;
- If the risk is familiar?
- The potential for catastrophe?
- Whether there is high fear of the consequences.
- Future or unforeseen effects; who is a risk and who may benefit?
|
| Extreme risk (A) |
Service has been required within the past three years:
- Immediate action required - highest priority for mitigation and contingency planning
- Executive attention recommended
- Further research recommended on scenario analysis or vulnerability
|
| High risk (B) |
Service has been required in the past, more than three years ago
- Prompt action required - risk may be addressed through mitigation and contingency planning.
- Senior management attention recommended.
- Further research may be required on scenario analysis or vulnerability analysis.
|
| Moderate risk (C) |
Service has not been required in the past ten years, but may be required given the changing risk environment
- Planned action may be required - potential consideration for further mitigation and planning.
- Identify management responsibility.
|
| Low risk (D) |
Specific action required may be planned following the onset of an emergency
- Action may not be required - advisory in nature.
- Managed by routine procedures.
