Decisions:

Accept: acknowledge the risk, but do not take any action before it hits
Mitigate: take measures to reduce the probability of occurrence or the potential damage
Avoid: do something else without this risk, e.g. nothing
Transfer: let someone else take care of it, e.g. insurance
(Deny the risk: not allowed to choose, but many managers do this nevertheless...)
