And by the way, according to the Environment Agency, one third of existing UK flood defences are liable to fail, while others are controversial or lacking. In the UK emergency planners do not manage the events they plan for. We should accept that we have disasters in the UK. I believe substantial changes are needed.

This is a classic business continuity and emergency response incident, and I thought I would examine it through the lens of a couple of risk management concepts: black swan events and Reason’s Swiss cheese theory. Black swan events, popularised by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, are rare events that have a major impact when they occur.

Regulatory Approach to OR In contrast to the EU, UK, and APAC, the development of an OR regime or standards is not as prescriptive in the U.S. Now, shifting the focus to resilience, and the recognition that it’s not possible to prevent all disruptive events, the emphasis is placed on making plans to react to extreme but plausible events.
