What is risk in a Victorian setting?
Risk is formally defined as the effect of uncertainty on objectives.
For assessment purposes, risk is often defined as the likelihood that a particular level of impact (consequence) will occur.
The highest risk emergencies are those that are most likely to happen, and with the highest potential consequences.
A state-level risk assessment assesses risk for the whole state (or territory) rather than some part of the state such as a municipal district or a region.
