- Source: Society for Risk Analysis
The Society for Risk Analysis (SRA) is a learned society providing an open forum for anyone interested in risk analysis. SRA seeks to:
Bring together individuals from diverse disciplines and from different countries and provide them opportunities to exchange information, ideas, and methodologies for risk analysis and risk problem solving;
Foster understanding and professional collaboration among individuals and organizations for the purpose of contributing to risk analysis and risk problem solving;
Facilitate the dissemination of knowledge about risk and risk methods and their applications;
Encourage applications of risk analysis methods;
Promote advancement of the state-of-the-art in research and education on risk analysis; and
Provide services to its members to assist them in developing their careers in risk analysis.
Publication
In early 1979, Robert B. Cumming, the first SRA President, recognized the growing need for risk researchers and practitioners to publish their work in a dedicated scientific journal. This led to the formation of an organization to support such a journal, with the certificate of incorporation for the SRA made official on August 28, 1980. The first issue of Risk Analysis appeared in March 1981.
SRA interest areas
SRA broadly defines risk analysis to include risk assessment, risk characterization, risk communication, risk management, and policy relating to risk. The society's interests include: risk perception, risks to human health and the environment, both built and natural; threats from physical, chemical, and biological agents and from a variety of human activities as well as natural events; and risks of concern to individuals, to public and private sector organizations, and to society at various geographic scales. SRA published a glossary of definitions of key terms related to risk and fundamental principles for high quality risk analysis.
