Can risk be managed without measuring it?

Many risks require measurement for management. Just not all of them.

AJEM January 2026 - Disasters are not natural: review of Disasters By Choice: How our Actions turn Natural Hazards into Catastrophes | Australian Disaster Resilience Knowledge Hub

‘It’s just semantics’. I hear this often when the topic comes up of disasters not being natural, so why do we persist calling them natural disasters? It is more than semantics.

“I'm all for regulation and safety, but this seems a touch heavy-handed and unnecessary. It's rainwater stored in concrete tanks. It doesn't get much cleaner.”

Yours doesn’t - get any cleaner - but other peoples’ may contain: 100 year old mud, 50 year old asbestos, & more recently dead possums, mice, rats, less favoured household cats as well as providing a breeding ground for mosquitoes etc. ☹️ Only partly joking here… Of course it could be better to improve the standard of theirs rather than just acknowledge the risk of those that don’t have much risk, but here we are… sorry… 😞

Is nature angry with us?

To avoid disasters, our actions ought to be about cooperating and living with nature – and with each other – without harm, including without harming ourselves. We should recognise and implement the worldviews that humanity and nature are intertwined.

CISA’s Pre-Ransomware Notification Initiative remains operational, but its long-term structure is under discussion following leadership changes.

The program has demonstrated how early intelligence sharing - before encryption or extortion - can materially reduce ransomware impact across critical sectors.

This development raises broader InfoSec questions around operational resilience, continuity of trust relationships, and how early-warning models can be scaled beyond key individuals.

Thoughts from practitioners and researchers are welcome.
