ACCEPTABLE RISK PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATING NATURAL <br />HAZARD MITIGATION <br />Moderator: Craig Taylor, Natural Hazards Management, Inc. <br />Discussants: <br />David Goldman, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers <br />Keith Porter, Stanford University <br />Bill Cain, East Bay Municipal Utility District <br />Elliott Mittler, University of Wisconsin, Green Bay <br />Dick Wittkop, Moffat & Nichol Engineers <br />Recorder: Lisa Bona, GeoEngineers, Inc. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Acceptable risk procedures are emerging as more comprehensive methods of evaluating <br />natural hazards mitigation. Less comprehensive methods have typicalIy been incorporated <br />into engineering practices related to new construction and reconstruction. However, many <br />policy-related questions have arisen with respect to the application of acceptable risk <br />procedures-for example, "in whose time frame" and "in what segment of society" are such <br />risks "acceptable?" This session discusses some of these major issues. <br /> <br />3. THE PUBLIC ENTITY RISK INSTITUTE <br />Moderator: Gerry Hoetmer, Public Entity Risk Institute <br />Discussants: <br />Laurie Johnson. Risk Management Solutions, Inc. <br />Claire Reiss, Public Entity Risk Institute <br />Recorder: Arriella Chakos, City of Berkeley, California <br /> <br />The Public Entity Risk Institute (pERI) is a relatively new organization that focuses on <br />promoting good risk management practices among local government, small businesses, and <br />nonprofit organizations. Specifically, it facilitates the development and delivery of education <br />and training on all aspects of risk management; serves as a resource center for risk <br />management information; and operates a grants program in risk management, environmental <br />impairment liability, and disaster management. This session will describe PERI's activities <br />and explore ways in which the traditional "hazards community" might more closely work <br />with the "risk management" community. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />4.
