External risk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

External Risks are risks that are produced by a non-human source and are beyond human control. They are unexpected but happen regularly enough in a general population to be broadly predictable.

Good examples of external risks are natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanoes.
