Risk Management

It’s important to conduct a full risk management assessment for the conference. One might not give this step much thought as the venue is responsible for its facilities. This is a mistake.

There are many risk management tools to assist the commander and the conference planning staff to minimize or to mitigate controllable risk. Please consult the risk management tools outlined on the safety pages at http://www.gocivilairpatrol.com for more information. Up to date risk management tools are located in the safety pages.

Please don’t be fooled by the brevity of this section. Risk management processes and resources are better sourced from CAP’s online utilities.

Bring your wing safety team in early. These people include representatives from safety, cadet programs, health services and others. Early preparation saves big, big headaches later.

When does risk management begin? It begins when thinking about the theme, potential sites, activities and schedule for the conference.
