Phase $1$: Risk assessment system $|$ Due February $27,2024($Value $10\%)$

Create a written description of the business$/$trip $($up to two pages$).$ Think of this as the marketing information that will be presented to potential clients and$/$or a CEO or insurance company to receive approval to add these this tour.

o Explain the rationale for each hazard with a direct connection to course materials or credible government sources to support your work $($with a citation$).$

$$ Risk evaluation matrices o Create the following risk evaluation matrices to classify the risks you identified in the previous step in each matrix.

$$Perceived$$ vs $$actual$$ actual risk matrix

$$Severity$$ and $$frequency$$ matrix o Explain each matrix and provide details about your decision for where you plotted the risks: Provide a $1-2$ paragraph explanation for each matrix $($explaining your decision$).$

o An explanation MUST be provided for each chart.

$$ Create a $$Risk Spectrum$$ and color code your spectrum. Include all the different activities; o Explain how your risk spectrum will influence business decisions made $($think about staff training, participant communication, emergency responses, feedback loops, communication strategies, etc.$)$
