System Risk is a Function of System Risk is a Function of System StateSystem State

P(Ht,s) = probability of a hazard at time t (and system state s)

P(Ds|Ht,s) = probability of a particular level of vulnerability of a system in state s given a hazard at time t (and system state s)

E(L|Ds) = expected losses conditioned on the vulnerability of system in state s

E(L) = Σ Σ E(L|ds) * P(ds|ht,s) * P(ht,s)ht,s ds
