Risk Governance Framework
Local authorities RC Local authorities are mostly using risk information for local decision making. They normally do not
have the capacity to generate risk information on their own.
Governmental RC Ministries use risk information in their planning processes, they main role is as “information
organizations - RP consumers”. However, in many cases, the different sectors make use of their own technical resources
sectors to produce risk assessment studies; in this case they are also “providers” of information.
National basic RP For instance national bureau of statistics, topographic surveys. Though they produce “general
data producers purpose” information, they are relevant for the risk assessment process.
National thematic RP For instance: meteorological, seismological, geological that, generally, should be considered and
organizations “information producers”
Disaster RP A disaster management organization is both generating risk information, and is also using this
management RC information for early warning, preparedness planning and disaster prevention.
organization
Private sector RP Consultants can be important source for specific data for hazard, vulnerability and risk assessment. A
RC special case is also the insurance industry, which can be a RP as RC at the same time. Sometimes the
entire process of hazard, vulnerability and risk assessment is done entirely by a consulting company.
The private sector as a whole is also RC as beneficiary of disaster risk reduction
NGO RC NGO’s often are actively involved in collecting relevant hazard and vulnerability data at community
RP level.
They can also be RC
Universities RP Universities can be active in generating hazard and risk information. They can sometimes have the
main role in this process
International RP International organization can bring in additional support for generating hazard and risk information
organizations RC (e.g. World Bank)
They also require risk information for making sound investments.
Risk communication
Risk communication is the interactive exchange of information about risks
among risk assessors, managers, news media, interested groups and the general
public.
(Channel)
Risk assessment: “Do I need to Information needs assessment:
to whom take protective action?” “What information do I need?”
(Receiver)
and directed at Protective action search: “What
can be done to achieve
Communication action
assessment: “Where and how can
what kind of protection?” I obtain this information?”
Media Risk communication to public, Animations of hazard phenomena that clearly illustrate
the problems.

Tools for risk reduction measures
Structural measures:
refer to any physical construction to reduce or avoid
possible impacts of hazards, which include engineering
measures and construction of hazard-resistant and
protective structures and infrastructure
Non-Structural measures:
refer to policies, awareness, knowledge development,
public commitment, and methods and operating practices,
including participatory mechanisms and the provision of
information, which can reduce risk and related impacts.

Crop Yield Forecasting
Joint Research Centre (JRC)
of the EC, Alterra, VITO,
Meteoconsult.
This system includes:m
management of a
meteorological database,
an agro-meteorological model
and database,
low resolution satellite
information,
statistical analyses of data
crop yield forecasting
publishing of bulletins
containing analysis,
forecasts and thematic maps
on crop yield expectations
using a Web-GIS application
USGS PAGER
After the magnitude and hypocenter of an earthquake are
determined, PAGER retrieves any intensities reported by people in
the epicenteral region via the online USGS "Did You Feel It?"
system. The colored circles show the reported intensity at a city
and the circle's size is proportional to population.
PAGER generates a soil/rock site-specific ground-motion
amplification map based on topographic slope. This map accounts
for the tendency of soft-soil sites to experience stronger ground
motion amplification than rock sites.
Information about the fault geometry and size (black rectangle) is
added when it becomes available. The ShakeMap system then
produces regional ground shaking estimates (yellow contours) using
the reported intensities, the site-specific ground-motion
amplification map, and seismic wave attenuation equations that
account for the variation of seismic shaking intensity with
magnitude, distance and depth.
The ShakeMap system then converts the estimated ground motions
to a map of seismic intensity.
The population affected at each intensity level is computed and
intensities and populations at nearby cities tabulated by combining
the map of intensity with the Landscan population database.
