ABSTRACT
Risk management serves to identify potential opportunities, and then manage and take action to prevent adverse effects. It also emphasizes the probability of events and their consequences, which are measurable both qualitatively and quantitatively. These characterizations also apply to climate change risks and planning evaluations (Jones and Preston, 2010). A risk management framework addresses the full spectrum of challenges in areas such as planning, strategy, operations, finance, and governance. It also recognizes the specific needs of the megacity’s different departments and functions as well as the potential impacts of parallel threats and events. The systematic analysis and management of health risks through a well-planned strategic approach to integrating recovery measures, preventing and mitigating risks, and identifying a population’s vulnerabilities are a priority for the health sector to lessen public health risks impacts.
