Pre-Implementation Project Summary Statement (PDF)

Conferences and Presentations
The Risk Assessment Resources Team has been regularly participating and presenting at the International Society of Risk Analysis (SRA) Annual Meetings (view a few of the presentations below) and at the Midwestern Risk Assessment Forum. The team has also coordinated with SRA in co-sponsoring workshops on Probabilistic Risk Assessments. The team has worked closely with all federal partners, including EPA’s Annual Science Forum, DOE’s risk-based end state development, and DOD’s work on ARAMS model development. With all these efforts, the team is reaching out to various audiences in states, local, academia, and industry.

Electronic Risk Resource Sheet (PDF)
Contains links that connect to databases, tools, and topics that address risk assessment and is a valuable tool to anyone interested in the subject of risk assessment. This resource is a dynamic resource that will be updated periodically.

Adaptive Risk Assessment Modeling System (ARAMS)
A computer-based, modeling- and database-driven analysis system for estimating human and ecological health impacts and risks associated with potential contaminants of concern. ARAMS is based on a widely accepted risk paradigm that integrates exposure and effects assessments to characterize risk.
