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 follow.


                   Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's
                       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 at lyris.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.
