Management of Risk for Natural and Technological Hazards : Course Description: Risk managers have to manage risk in a meaningful manner. This requires that risk managers can function as intermediaries between quantitative risk assessors and risk takers (e.g. the institution employing the risk manager or more general the public). To that end it is important that risk managers have a common understanding of quantitative risk assessment techniques and their limitations as well as a common understanding of risk communication and risk perception issues.
