"Flirting with Disaster" (Issues, Fall 2005) by James R. Phimister, Vicki M. Bier, and Howard C. Kunreuther lays out several issues confronting high-hazard enterprises and regulators vis-a-vis the precursor analyses meant to help them ward off operational threats. Underlying those issues is the question of the scope and quality of the event analyses that delineate the precursors. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
