Concepts in Emergency Management3
A Community A Community ……consists of 5 elements (each of which has specific
vulnerabilities from specific hazards):the peopletheir property (infrastructure,possessions and assets; public, private and cultural)their services (government and non-government, commercial and voluntary)their livelihoods (urban and rural, formal and informal)their environment (air, water and soil; urban and rural, built and natural)

Concepts in Emergency Management18
Two types of emergencies
Non-disaster emergenciesThe local emergency services are not part of
the affected population or group, and can function normallyDisaster emergencies
The local emergency services are themselves victims and cannot function effectively

Concepts in Emergency Management22
1. selects a hazard2. maps the distribution of the hazard3. identifies the communities exposed to the hazard4. predicts the consequences of that hazard interacting with
that community at a certain time in a certain season5. analyses each of the 5 elements of community in terms
of that hazard to identify the factors which will lead to each consequence i.e. determines the vulnerabilities of each element
6. identifies the capacities within the community to respond to that hazard
7. Undertake interventions to reduce risks by reducing exposure to hazards, reducing vulnerabilities and building capacities
The Risk Analysis process
![Page 23: Concepts in Emergency Management summary - WHO elements of preparedness. 14 Concepts in Emergency Management A Disaster is: an emergency in which local authorities cannot cope . 15](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051600/5a9fdb757f8b9a7f178d60fb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Concepts in Emergency Management23
Risk analysis
risk analysis is based on the formula:
Public Safety Risk is proportional to:
Probability of hazard X Vulnerabilities---------------------
Capacities

The purpose of a risk analysis is to guide communities in planning for protecting health and safety by developing and maintaining 3 sets of plans:
Hazard Reduction PlansVulnerability Reduction PlansEmergency Preparedness Plans
