The field of risk management emerged in the mid-1970s, evolving from the older field of insurance management. The term risk management was adopted because the new field has a much wider focus than simply insurance management. Risk management includes activities and responsibilities outside of the general insurance domain, although insurance is an important part of it and insurance agents often serve as risk managers. Insurance management focused on protecting municipalities from natural disasters and basic kinds of exposures, such as fire, theft whereas risk management focuses on these kinds of risks as well as other kinds of costly losses, including those stemming from product liability, employment practices, environmental degradation, accounting compliance, offshore outsourcing, currency fluctuations, and electronic commerce.
Risk managers need to be aware of the types of risks they face. Common types of risks include fire, flood, and tornadoes; although more complicated types such as liability and environmental degradation also exist.
Any given risk can lead to a variety of losses in different areas. For example, if a fire occurs, a municipality could lose its physical property such as buildings, equipment, and materials. In this situation, a municipality also could lose revenues, in that it could no longer produce goods or provide services. Furthermore, a municipality could lose human resources in such a disaster. Even if employees are not killed or injured, a municipality would still suffer losses because employers must cover benefits employees draw when they miss work.
