Information about RISKANAL

["Dukelow, James S Jr" <jim.dukelow@pnl.gov>]

Gerald Falo kindly provided RADSAFE reader with instructions on how to subscribe
to RISKANAL, a mailing list for risk professionals.  Unfortunately, the
subscription address he gave had a slight typo, but one which, simple-minded as
computers are, would prevent you from subscribing successfully.  I'll append
subscription instructions and a brief description of RISKANAL.

RISKANAL currently has more that 1600 subscribers from approximately 45
countries and averages three or four messages a day.

Best regards.

The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Columbia-Cascades Chapter 
of the Society for Risk Analysis have set up a risk analysis Internet 
mailing list, as a service to the international risk analysis community.  
Any messages sent to the mailing list will be re-broadcast to all 
subscribers to the mailing list, either periodically, in digested form, or 
immediately upon receipt.  Subscribers can decide whether they want the 
immediate or digested form of the list.  The list is currently unmoderated.  

We define risk analysis quite broadly; as with other academic/scholarly 
mailing lists, appropriate postings can include news items of interest, 
meeting announcements, announcements of the availability of preprints or 
software, open position descriptions, Calls for Papers, requests for 
information,  answers to those requests, etc..  Instructions for joining 
the list are appended.  


                   RISKANAL Risk Analysis Discussion List


Overview

RISKANAL is a discussion list focused on risk analysis. RISKANAL is 
affiliated with the Society for Risk Analysis, 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 as a local, regional, national, or global 
level. 

The goals of RISKANAL are to:

     Provide an opportunity for individuals from diverse disciplines
     and from different countries to exchange information, ideas, and
     methodologies for risk analysis and risk problem-solving;

     Foster understanding and professional collaboration among
     individuals for the purpose of contributing to risk analysis and
     risk problem-solving;

     Facilitate the dissemination of knowledge about risk and risk
     analysis methods;

     Encourage application of risk analysis methods.

Messages mailed to RISKANAL@LISTSERV.PNL.GOV are distributed to all list
subscribers.  Please do not send messages longer than about 500 lines;
break long messages up into multiple shorter messages.
