Low Frequency High Impact ? events are disruptive and emphasises that ? High Frequency Low Impact ? events are also disruptive and must be addressed by contingency plans and preventative measures In commending Professor Peter Sommer ? s clear and informative guide to its readers I seek to highlight the crucial importance of timely and sound decision making
