Portuguese Association for Risks, Prevention and Safety
Risks, Prevention and Safety are concepts that, increasingly, are being part of our days, integrating, therefore and often, without realizing it, the experiences of our daily lives. The increasing of risks that affect Portuguese society, both in number and in severity, together with the lack of a culture of prevention and safety, has led a group of Portuguese citizens who have long been concerned with minimizing the consequences of the risks manifestations, to set up a private, non-profit association that could bring together all those who share these concerns, and which they called RISCOS - Portuguese Association of Risks, Prevention and Security, because they are aware of their individual responsibilities, as active members of that society. RISCOS therefore intends to bring together citizens and institutions that, in Portugal, have responsibilities in risk management, from prevention to the rehabilitation of the areas affected by them, or that ensure the safety of people and their assets. It is particularly suited to integrating all those who participate in protection and relief tasks and, also, all citizens who wish to know not only the risks that may affect them, but also how they should be prevented and protected.
