Statistics?
actuarial statistics. people who help to create insurance policies. if possible. the insurance company wants to avoid paying, so they want to insurance events that are highly improbable so they don't have to pay. also, they want you to pay a higher premium for events that are likely . actuaries, underwriters, and the like. there are also people who calculate things like 100 year storms or a 100 damn. What you do calculate the probability that say a category 5 will hit New Orleans in a hundred years and then you build a structure that could withstand that. If a category 6 hits all bets are off. I would imagine government statisticians could do that job.
