Abstract: Abstract The discipline of risk analysis has become a crucial contributor to both public-sector and private-sector decisions with large stakes and uncertain outcomes. It informs and structures productive analysis and deliberation and provides needed information about the probable quantitative consequences of alternative courses of action. As we have seen, risk analysis is now used in applications as diverse and significant as medical decision-making (e.g., in Chaps. 1 and 2), community-based disaster risk management (Chap. 3), enterprise risk management (Chap. 4), homeland security and antiterrorism initiatives (Chap. 5), food and drug safety (Chap. 6), and public health and environmental and occupational exposure regulations (Chaps. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13).
