Risk management
Risk Management is a way to make sure that bad things do not happen. It means that we plan ahead for bad things that might happen so that we are prepared if they do. For example, if there is a danger of a flood, we might build a wall to stop it from happening. Then we know that if a flood does happen, we are prepared and won't get hurt.
