System Risk Assessment

Design and implementation of an interactive web application to assess the system risk perception by collecting and analyzing perceptions of local stakeholders. The application is a sophisticated instrument for acquiring diverse perspectives on various topics pertinent to system risk. Leveraging evaluation mechanisms, the proposed application offers individualized feedback to participants while concurrently facilitating the construction of a robust statistical model based on aggregated responses. The integration of statistical techniques enables the identification of trends and patterns within the dataset, thus providing insights into public perceptions of system risk. Using this innovative tool, stakeholders can gain valuable insights into prevailing attitudes and misconceptions surrounding system risk, informing more effective risk mitigation strategies and policy decisions.

Background:

  • In disaster management and security management, different Early Warning Systems (EWS) as well as disaster management scenarios exist.
  • Practice shows that while EWS exist, often warnings are ignored or downplayed.
  • Understanding of vulnerabilities and reasons for ignorance of warning signs enable stakeholders to improve their risk preparation.

System Risk Assessment

Assessment of stakeholder perception of vulnerabilities, threatening their functioning. These vulnerabilities concern the individual, organizational, and regional levels.

Be a dynamic instrument for research, assessment, and feedback for stakeholders. This feedback should embrace the following

  • A system risk profile of the user (individual, organization, city).
  • Provide feedback in the form of local examples of vulnerabilities and system risks, and good and bad practices from the different regions involved in the project.

Assess the existence of an EWS (a governance mechanism for obtaining and managing warning signals of different types of disasters).
