Well - global risk management is not an option as it is far broader  
than what I believe we are talking about. We are talking about the  
management of a particular set of community risks.

Given that when you mention emergency management to some people they  
think you are talking about hospitals and emergency departments, I  
would strongly suggest that we stick with disaster management. They  
are still the best two words I've found for communicating to people  
what I do for a living. Emergency management is fine for those in the  
know.

So my vote would be for the status quo.
