Having assessed and identified environmental hazards and threats, managing those risks by reducing their impact becomes imperative. IMSG conducts applied research in risk management in order to assist in the mitigation of human and natural impacts in ecosystem functions.

IMSG helps with the mitigation of threats such as pipeline, munitions, radioactive wastes, chemical warfare agents, industrial wastes, as well as naturally occurring threats such as invasive species. We bring in subject matter experts and analysts to help alleviate the impacts.

IMSG recognizes that risk management creates value when it becomes a part of decision-making. Systematic and structured, risk management tailors the organizational processes to address uncertainty based on the best available information and research.
