Course Description:

'' Risk Assessment and Management! In this course, we will focus on integrating the principles of risk assessment and management into strategic planning and decision-making. We’ll look at both the process and methods of risk assessment and management. You will be exposed to techniques for modeling complex systems and predicting and evaluating risks associated with a variety of sources, pathways, and consequences. We will explore a broad range of approaches for building scenarios, assessing the effectiveness of alternative management strategies, and designing risk management plans and hazardous mitigation measures. We’ll use case studies and simulations to highlight the complexities of risk-based decision-making due to multiple factors, conflicting objectives, incomplete information, and scientific uncertainty.
In this course, we will focus on our examples of risk assessment and risk management in three of five critical foundations identified in the White House’s National Strategy for the Physical Protection of Critical Infrastructures and Key Assets report. These include agriculture and food, public health, and chemical and hazardous materials. We will not focus on defense, industrial base, postal, or shipping foundations. The techniques and models we will introduce in this course include qualitative and quantitative risk modeling, decision analysis including fault-tree analysis and event-tree analysis, and probabilistic risk-assessment techniques. ...''
