Risk & Hazard Assessment in a Spatial Context
Applying ISO-aligned risk thinking through geographic analysis Risk occurs somewhere. Whether organisations are managing public safety, infrastructure, environmental exposure, emergency management, recreation, or operational performance, many risk questions are inherently geographic: Traditional risk registers and qualitative assessments remain important, but spatial analysis can provide an additional layer of insight that strengthens evidence-based decision making. Frameworks…

Why Location Matters in Risk Assessment
Audience: Land managers, risk managers, public health practitionersFocus area: Spatial Analysis & MappingLevel: IntermediateRead time: ~6–7 minutes Introduction Risk assessment is widely used across sport, recreation, and public health to support decision-making. These approaches typically rely on structured methods such as likelihood and consequence scoring, supported by hazard identification and control evaluation. While effective for…

Introducing riskworkflowr: Reproducible Spatial Risk Analysis in R
Spatial risk analysis workflows are often fragmented across GIS software, spreadsheets, manual processing steps, and custom scripts. While these approaches can produce useful outputs, they can also create challenges around reproducibility, quality assurance, transparency, and long-term maintenance. To help address these issues, GeoRisk Analysis has been developing riskworkflowr — an open and evolving R package…

From One-Off Scripts to Reproducible Spatial Workflows
The problem Some organization’s working with spatial data are still relying on fragmented, one-off scripts. Data is pulled from multiple sources.Formats vary.Coordinate systems don’t align.And each new analysis often starts from scratch. The result? For teams working in risk, planning, or public safety, that introduces unnecessary uncertainty into decision-making. A practical approach There’s no single…
