The ever-increasing population living near active volcanoes highlights the need for implementation of effective risk reduction measures to save lives and reduce impact volcanic unrest eruptions. To help identify systems associated with potential high prioritize strategies, we introduce a new Volcanic Risk Ranking (VRR) methodology that integrates hazard, exposure, vulnerability as factors incre...

Introduction: Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a structured way to find and understand the states of a system’s failure and to calculate the resulting effects. In this method, which has been criticized by many researchers, the risk priority number is obtained for each failure mode based on the multiplication of the three parameters of occurrence (O), severity (S) and detection (D). I...

This study aimed to critically review methods for ranking risks related to food safety and dietary hazards on the basis of their anticipated human health impacts. A literature review was performed to identify and characterize methods for risk ranking from the fields of food, environmental science and socio-economic sciences.
