societal risk assessment

Societal risk assessment is a process used to identify, evaluate, and understand potential risks that could impact society at large, such as natural disasters, technological failures, or health crises. It involves analyzing the likelihood of these events occurring and their possible consequences, helping policymakers and communities prepare and make informed decisions to reduce harm. Essentially, it’s about understanding what threats exist, how serious they could be, and what steps can be taken to protect our communities and way of life.
