About Inquests and inquiries

From the publisher's feed

This is the companion podcast to two websites. The first is about the use of risk analysis in emergency planning and intelligence. The second is to increase understanding about the causes of disasters and loss of life by making it easier to access information on them. This can be from inquests, inquiries or other forms of investigation.
