An RSI Managing Risk method
Hazard mitigation strategies
Hazard mitigation strategies is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better manage risk.
Broadly
Hazard mitigation strategies reduce the likelihood or severity of adverse events through proactive design, planning, or policy. Examples include land-use zoning, infrastructure reinforcement, and public education. The goal is long-term risk reduction, often with co-benefits like sustainability or equity. Challenges include political resistance and funding constraints.
More specifically
RSI helps develop and assess mitigation strategies that are evidence-based, cost-effective, and stakeholder-supported. The firm uses risk models, cost-benefit analyses, and community input to prioritize interventions. RSI ensures that mitigation is integrated with broader development goals and not treated as an isolated activity.
