Conference: Risk-Based Decision Making in Water Resources X

0229030弗赖曼拟议的第十届工程基金会会议的风险为基础的决策代表了该领域的自然增长和理论，方法的顶点，并在水资源和自然和人为灾害的风险评估和管理的应用。 最引人注目的是，1980年9月在加利福尼亚州阿西洛马举行的第一次会议提出的目标和宗旨以及1980年会议记录序言中提出的问题，今天与当时一样切合实际和及时。 在2001年9月2日世界贸易中心和五角大楼遭到袭击以及随后的炭疽邮件袭击之后，美国再也无法对临时威胁作出反应。

0229030FreimanThe proposed Tenth Engineering Foundation Conference on risk-based decision making represents the natural growth of the field and the culmination of the theory, methodology, and applications in risk assessment and management o water resources and natural and man-made hazards. The most striking observation is that the objectives and goals set forth for the first conference in September 1980 in Asilomar, CA and the issues raised in the preface of the 1980 proceedings are as relevant and as timely today as they were then. After the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September II, 200 1, and the subsequent anthrax mailings, the United States can no longer afford to respond to threats on an ad hoc basis.
