Concept of Risk

The possibility of damage , loss , or any negative occurrence that is vulnerabilities. It can be defined as the damage of all the life, property and physical structure. For example, If Earthquake may occur at any time then there will be the possibility of damage to the life, property etc. We can see many things in the world. Before using them it also has its own risk. Many things in the world can cause great loss to the human life and

property time to time. In different parts of the country, we can see the natural disaster like flood, landslide, heavy rainfall, hailstone, Tsunami, Volcanic Eruptions etc. As we know that flood and landslide it occurs due to heavy rainfall. There are some other disasters which are also caused by the human activities. Not only this, sometimes a large number of people they are killed by epidemic diseases. The life of people, house, offices building, road, animal, civilization etc. are due to those threatening events.

 

The things which people they faced should look after by the government its self. The people or the victims should get full supports by the government , communities or by the non-governmental organization should help them. The destroy condition which we see by nature or unnatural period is called calamities. This kind of digester may affect the people or the communities. We human should be very careful before facing this types of problems. We need to be conscious of the risk resulted by such calamities. Anything may happen at any time. If the people are working in the factory there will be the risk of becoming sick due to chemicals, which is used by the factories. Not only this person may be affected by the things which are present in the industry.

Due to such types of problem people may lose everything. The work which identification, analysis, control of risks is called risk is called risk management. Before haveing problem we should look for the solution also. So, the good manager of the extent of exposure to risk and the likelihood of its occurrence is called risk reduction.
