International audience ; Knowledge Management methods, techniques and experience can bring a considerable help in preventing all kind of risks. The current economic context amplified the existing risks and introduced new ones such as environmental, political and social. Among the most critical risks of this century is this of lost of knowledge and "memory" in particular in industry involved in long-term activities. After listing the principal risks and recalling of main approaches and techniques of Knowledge Management and its application for risk management an example of nuclear industry is given. Discussion follows in final conclusion and some perspectives are presented.

Particularly since the 11 September terrorist attacks in the USA, much attention has been given to the development and implementation of incident management systems (IMS). The IMS is a tool for marshalling pre‐identified and pre‐assembled resources to respond to an emergency or disaster. IMS is particularly useful when personnel and resources from many agencies and jurisdictions are required to manage large incidents successfully. While many IMS have been devised over the years, their use remains intermittent. This paper traces the evolution of IMS, reviews how it can be integrated into jurisdictional emergency and disaster management, and specifies the structures that are used in most incident management systems at the municipal level.
