Abstract: Abstract Risks can be viewed as threats, but business exists to cope with risks. Different disciplines have different ways of classifying risks. In finance, in order to explain the risk management lessons from the Credit Crisis, Jorion classified risks into: known knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns. To focus on natural disaster risk management, we propose the following general way to classify risks: Field based and Property based.
