Reducing risk

Description

Reducing risk involves identifying potential hazards and implementing measures to minimize their likelihood or impact. This strategy focuses on practical actions such as improving safety protocols, diversifying resources, strengthening contingency plans, and promoting awareness to prevent or mitigate harm. By proactively addressing vulnerabilities, organizations and communities can limit losses, enhance resilience, and ensure continuity in the face of uncertainty, thereby remedying specific threats to health, security, finances, and operational stability.
