Abstract
This closing chapter provides a discussion of the political, economic and social imperatives that affect the policy making decision process for extreme events. It shows that the tools are available to inform policy makers to make calm and considered decisions based on risk assessments that considers the preferences of all stakeholders including the public. However, challenges remain if risk-based decisions are to become truly mainstream in the education of engineers and the engineering practice more broadly.
