Risk- and vulnerability analyses in crisis management of extreme events - A pilot study
(2004) Joint Meeting of the 7th International Conference on Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Management/European Safety and Reliability Conference p.644-649- Abstract
- In this paper some findings from a pilot study regarding the use of risk- and vulnerability analysis in society's management of extreme events is presented. The study consisted of two major parts. The first part was an interview study with the main objective to generate a preliminary overview of methods and procedures used by 9 selected Swedish governmental agencies in their risk- and crisis management work.

The pilot study was the "starting point" for a long... (More)
