Why is it hard to predict hazards? There is a lot of variability - the pattern of past occurances doesn't allow for accurate prediction This form of science is still being fleshed out What are the differences between hazard prediction and hazard risk evaluation? Hazard prediction is very hard to do based on frequency and past occurrences, but risk evaluation is easier and very possible because it is possible to predict the scale of damage from a particular hazard based on the damage c...
