Abstract

This chapter explains how to consider the multidimensional aspect of hazard consequences. The consequences to be studied are generally perceived as mainly dependent on the target readership of the risk assessment: insurance companies, interested in some specific loss type; owners wanting to perform RIDM on mitigation; politicians looking to understand comparative risks of various energy sources; authorities wanting to assess societal risk and cover public protection issues (Darbre 1998).
