Note: On March 14, 1997, the Society for Risk Analysis launched its own World Wide Web site at http://www.sra.org/. Prior to that date, RiskWorld was the on-line repository for information about the society. As a service to the society, RiskWorld has retained its pre-1997 files on the newsletter and has published the abstracts of presentations at the society's annual meetings from 1994 through 2002.
The Society for Risk Analysis (SRA) is a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, scholarly, international society that provides an open forum for all those who are interested in risk analysis. Risk analysis is broadly defined to include risk assessment, risk characterization, risk communication, risk management, and policy relating to risk, in the context of risks of concern to individuals, to public and private sector organizations, and to society at a local, regional, national, or global level (from SRA Vision Statement published in RISK newsletter, Fourth Quarter 1993).
The society's official journal, Risk Analysis: An International Journal, is published bimonthly by Blackwell Publishers, Inc.
Reprints from the society's quarterly publication, RISK newsletter, and of abstracts of papers presented at its annual meetings are available on the World Wide Web (see links listed below).
