| 2. Profile Each Hazard | |
| Develop a hazard profile
for each hazard identified in previous step. Include the following info: -frequency of occurrence (how often it can occur) -magnitude and potential intensity (how bad it can get) -location (where likely to strike) -probable spatial extent (how large an area it can effect) -duration (how long it can be expected to last) -seasonal pattern (time of year when likely to occur) - speed of onset (how fast likely to occur) - availability of warnings (how much lead time, if warning system exists) |
|
| 3. Develop a Community Profile | |
| Combine info from steps
1 and 2 with info from sector profiles to determine consequences of hazard Sectoring divides the community into manageable segments for defining specific types of info; sector profiles include data on: geography, property, infrastructure, demographics, response agencies |
|
| 4. Compare and Prioritize Risk | |
| This allows planning
team to focus on hazards that present the highest risk to the community. risk = predicted impact that a hazard would have on people, services, facilities, structures. Use risk assessment worksheet, assign severity rating (worksheet) and compile data into a community risk index |
