Rich
Woldt - CPP, CFE RMLC Owner & CEO...
If this is your first...
introduction to
Risk Management, I suggest you first read my white
papers on International RM principles and practices, the
Incident Command System, and "The RMLC Pyramid Road to
Recovery" which applies Maslow's " Hierarchy of
Needs to contingency planning and recovery
management.
To help navigate
our files .....
know that each risk has it's own three panel page.
The left
panel...
offers an introduction to the risk area along with some
research tips.
The center
panel...
contains research links and tips on locating additional
links used by our faculty and faculty mentors.
The right
panel...
features highly respected Risk Managers from
around the world.
A word of caution!
No matter what your RM project, I
strongly recommend you look first in the education and
training departments of your industry trade association.
From a Risk Management
standpoint... You're going to be on thin ice
if you're called to defend your actions or lack
of action and you haven't at a minimum, belonged to and
taken an active role in your industry's trade
association. My best advice might be to get out your
check book and hope for the best.

To my many friends
and RM mentors around the world...
September 2005
marked my 42nd year of pounding the podium to motivate and spread
Risk Management wisdom around the world. You have all richly blessed me
with a career that's taken me to most cities in the US and countries in
the free world. I've been blessed to have worked with so many good
friends and RM professionals. You've all shared your time and
experience and in the process you've taught me much
about life in the real world. I've learned; "There are
no silver bullets" and it will take all of us working
together to ensure a safe and secure future for our
loved ones.
Now, thanks to the internet, we'll can
keep in touch, continue to share, and move out with
courage to prepare, protect, and
defend your homeland. Rich
Woldt

| Risk Management is a three (3)
step process. First you must
"Identify" the risk,
than "Measure" it's
probability of occurring in terms of frequency and
severity, and than properly
"Control" the risk. Following are some
recommended web sites to help you Identify natural
disaster risks such as: Controlling risks is
a five (5) step process. Start by trying to
"Avoid"
the risk, than "Reduce" the likely-hood that it will
occur, than "Spread" the risk, and determine how much
you can "Assume." Finally,
"Transfer"
the rest of the
risk to someone else through insurance and bond
contracts or some other legal transfer tool such as a
"hold-harmless" agreement. |

| Local Risk Assessments... |
| To conduct an assessment of your
local risks, start with a "google" search on the risk
and city in which you're doing your study. For example,
I have a home in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin so when I type
in... burglary sturgeon bay, I get
(Click Here). When developing your case
for law enforcement or the District Attorney, I suggest
you present your facts to include a history of similar
crimes in the area. This also works when asking for more
money in your security budget. Rich Woldt |
