1. Management of Risk Management Data Proposal for a Two Day Roundtable

2. Proposed by the Roundtable Associates for Understanding Computers and Users of the System 4 = RAUCUS –Robert Chen –Victor Goldberg –Roger Hurwitz –Sally Katzen –Roberta Miller –Priscilla Nelson –Alex Pfaff –Eldar Shafir

3. Proposed Topic 4 Day 1: Info for Risk Management and Response in Extreme Events 4 Day 2: Risk Management for Data Systems in Extreme Event 4 Key Background Concept: Creating a Research Center that deal in organized process with the problems highlighted.

4. Info for Risk Management and Response 4 Database 4 Interfaces and Communication of Risk

5. Database 4 Database –Data Interoperability Compatibility of Hardware and Software Standards Combining Data with Various Ownership, Confidentiality, Security Metadata compatibility Compatibility of ontologies and classes –Distributed or Centralized or Virtual –Tools for Data Analysis & Visualization for Research, Assessment and Management

6. Communication of Risk 4 Interface with Publics –Need to communicate risk effectively to 3 audiences General public Business communities (includes public institutions) Political and governmental leadership, including reg and responder agencies –How to accommodate public responses in pre- event phases

7. Database Risks in Extreme Events 4 Possibilities of Impairment of Critical Data –Physical Destruction –Breakdowns of Connectivity 4 Ripple Effects of Impairment –Problems for Financial and Public Institutions Local Global –Immediate Problems for Citizens

8. Risks to Risk Management Data 4 Unavailability of data due to damage or destruction –Redundancy planning –Distributed vs. centralized data repositories 4 Bandwidth constraints in response operations 4 Backup availability

9. Costs of Setting Up Interactive Database 4 Costs of Such a Research Center –Costs of Data –Integrated Effort of Scientists, Information Scientists, Planners, Practitioners
