This includes reducing the impact of the catastrophe after it is causing obvious and significant damage, but the response layer might also be bolstered by mitigation work which is done in advance. Finally, we characterise resilience as reducing the likelihood that a severe global catastrophe eventually causes human extinction. However, there are a few secondary risk-enabling properties that can weaken the response layer and therefore help damage cascade to a global catastrophe which we could have stopped. In this section we will use our guiding idea of three defence layers to present a way of calculating the extinction probability posed by a given risk.	./cache/cord-011407-4cjlolp6.txt	./txt/cord-011407-4cjlolp6.txt
