Review Quotes: "Mastering Catastrophic Risk is a timely and indispensable guide for corporate boards and executives contemplating an increasing variety of high consequence risks. Globalization, financial concentration, climate change, and political volatility have heightened the intensity and range of potential disruptions that may impact enterprises. This volume crisply lays out a disciplined and practical set of approaches for identifying and preparing for high impact enterprise risks." --Michael Chertoff, Former United States Secretary of Homeland Security

"This interesting book uses interviews and case studies from the business world to identify 21 categories of risk faced by publicly traded companies and to draw useful lessons about how to prepare for them." - Richard N. Cooper, Foreign Affairs
