Risk Analysis Framework - Risk is defined as the combination of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, where hazard refers to extreme events, exposure describes what's in the path of those hazards, and vulnerability describes the fragility or resilience [4][5] - Understanding risk involves assessing the intensity and frequency of hazards, and quantifying the potential damage and repair costs [4][16] - The framework of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability can be used to quantify risk in financial or operational terms, making it actionable for decision-makers [13] Disaster Risk Management & Solutions - Traditional access to risk information has been limited, primarily available to insurance companies in wealthy countries, highlighting a gap in global risk awareness [13][14] - High-resolution risk models, developed using AI and remote sensing, can cover the entire world, addressing flooding, tropical cyclones, extreme heat, and more [15] - Resilience should be viewed not only as avoiding losses but also as creating value, such as improving quality of life and generating revenue [19][23] - While hazards are often difficult to control, exposure and vulnerability are more manageable, allowing for interventions like building away from flood plains or elevating critical assets [17][18] Future Trajectory - Climate change is generally increasing the frequency of extreme events, leading to a growing risk trajectory [24] - Risk models provide a map to navigate towards a resilient future, enabling informed decisions and steering towards safety and prosperity [25]
