Translated version
Risk
It is a combination of probable losses (fatalities, injuries, economic damage) arising from the interaction of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. Risk can be simply expressed by the formula: Risk = Hazard x Exposure x Vulnerability. The main conclusion is: we cannot control the hazard (e.g., stop an earthquake), but we can reduce risk by managing exposure (e.g., not building in a hazard zone) and reducing vulnerability (e.g., building stronger buildings, creating warning systems, educating the public).
Original version
Rizika (angl. Risk)
Tai tikėtinų nuostolių (žuvusiųjų, sužeistųjų, ekonominės žalos) derinys, atsirandantis dėl pavojaus, poveikio ir pažeidžiamumo sąveikos. Riziką galima supaprastintai išreikšti formule: Rizika = Pavojus x Poveikis x Pažeidžiamumas. Svarbiausia išvada: mes negalime kontroliuoti pavojaus (pvz., sustabdyti žemės drebėjimo), bet mes galime sumažinti riziką, valdydami poveikį (pvz., nestatydami pavojaus zonoje) ir mažindami pažeidžiamumą (pvz., statydami tvirtesnius pastatus, kurdami perspėjimo sistemas, šviesdami visuomenę).
