GENERAL ORIENTATION
A devastating earthquake hit Sichuan province in China on 12th May 2008, followed by a
series of aftershocks, landslides, and storms. Along with natural disasters, the world is
being challenged with multi-dimensional threats, from pandemic disease, food shortage,
industrial accidents, to worldwide financial crisis. All of these threats are subjected to
substantial variation and uncertainty, which calls for a pivotal role by the science of risk
assessment and management. In addition to the collaboration among nation-wide
stakeholders, regional and international communication and corporation are particularly
beneficial for integrated risk governance.
EARAM is a forum among the risk scientists across Asia. The first EARAM conference
was held in Beijing 1998, hosted by Beijing Normal University. Then, the EARAM held its
2nd~3rd conference in Kobe and Seoul. EARAM-2009 is the 4th conference. Jointly
sponsored by the Risk Analysis Council of China Association for Disaster Prevention, the
Society for Risk Analysis-Japan and Korean Society of Environmental Toxicology , EARAM-
2009 is providing a regional forum for specialists and stake holders in risk analysis, risk

and provide for the dissemination of this important knowledge.
