http://proethica.org/ontology/case/88#Proactive_Risk_Disclosure_Invoked_By_Engineer_A_Upstream_Flood
Properties
Instance of
Applied to
Local Permitting Regulatory Authority
Upstream Neighborhood Twenty Homes Community
Balancing with
Client Loyalty
Fact-Based Disclosure Obligation
Concrete expression
Engineer A proactively identified and proposed to analyze the upstream flood risk from the tidal crossing upgrade before the regulatory authority requested such analysis, demonstrating the professional obligation to communicate identified risks without waiting for formal requests
Confidence
0.92
Importance
high
Interpretation
In this context, proactive risk disclosure requires Engineer A to communicate the identified upstream flood risk to the local permitting regulatory authority during the permitting process, even though Client B has directed that the specialized analysis be deferred until requested by the authority
Invoked by
Engineer A Tidal Crossing Infrastructure Design Engineer
Tension resolution
Proactive risk disclosure requires communication of preliminary professional judgments about material risks, qualified appropriately as to their certainty, without waiting for regulatory requests that may never come if the risk is not disclosed
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer A proposes a complex and costly hydrologic and hydraulic analysis by a specialized subconsultant to predict the extent to which sea level rise and the increased hydraulic capacity of the tidal crossing will result in flood damage to a neighborhood of twenty upstream homes during future high tides and storm surges
Text references
Client B directs Engineer A to proceed without the costly analysis unless and until such an analysis is requested by the applicable regulatory authorities
Engineer A proposes a complex and costly hydrologic and hydraulic analysis by a specialized subconsultant to predict the extent to which sea level rise and the increased hydraulic capacity of the tidal crossing will result in flood damage to a neighborhood of twenty upstream homes during future high tides and storm surges, anticipating this to be a difficult question to answer in the project's public hearings
