Hazard Analysis
Definition:Process used to anticipate hazards;likelihood, frequency, damage, impact,
and community vulnerability.
Awareness and foresight of potentialcascading events are important
Special events pose increased risk forincidents

Conducting a Hazard Analysis
Conducting a hazard analysis involvesfour steps:
Identify the hazards
Profile the identified hazards
Perform a risk index to prioritize thehazards
Plan for vulnerabilities

Identify Hazards
Reference sources for identifying hazards:
The jurisdictions existing hazardanalysis
Historical data, especially as they relateto similar hazards
Statistical data about the hazards that
are most likely to occur in your area Specific and unique hazards to the
event

Activity 3.1 - Hazard ID
Divide into small groups
Identify 5 hazards most likely to occurat your event
Reconvene and discusswith the group

A hazard profile determines:
Magnitude
Frequency Duration
Speed of onset

Prioritizing Risks/Hazards
Risk is defined as the predicted impactthat a hazard would have on people,services, and specific facilities at the
event and in the community
Quantifying risk enables planners tofocus on those hazards that pose the
highest threat to life, the environment,or property

Prioritizing Risks/Hazards(cont.)
Quantify the risks key questions
What level of coverage is in thecommunitys EOP?
Are critical facilities affected?
Are local personnel trained and equipped torespond?
Could responders be delayed for any
reason? For how long?

Prioritizing Risks/Hazards(cont.)
Quantifying risk involves:
Identifying elements of the event that arepotentially at risk from a specific hazard.
Developing response priorities. Risk to life isalwaysthe highest priority.
Assigning severity ratings based on thepotential impact.
Compiling risk data into event risk profiles.

Prioritizing Risks/Hazards(cont.)
Priority 1: Life safety, including hazard areas,high-risk populations, and potential search andrescue situations.
Priority 2: Essential facilities. Responsepersonnel cannot respond if their own facilitiesare affected.
Priority 3: Critical infrastructure that are
essential to life safety and that wouldadversely affect response efforts if they weredisrupted.

Prioritizing Risks/Hazards(cont.)
Assign a hazard severityrating or risk index.
Predicts the damage that can
be expected as a result of the hazard.Use the Hazard Vulnerability Assessment
table to calculate the ratings and impact.
Assign a value to each characteristic.
Assign a rating for each type of hazard data.

Prioritizing Risks/Hazards(cont.)
To determine the overall risk value foreach hazard:
Select a hazard
Assign a value of 1-4 to each characteristic
Add the values
Divide by 4 to arrive at an overall risk value

Plan for Vulnerabilities
Develop scenarios for the highest-riskhazards identified
A scenario will trace the hazardsdevelopment into an emergency
Scenarios should be realistic
Scenarios require brainstorming by
event planners

Plan for Vulnerabilities(cont.)
A scenario should describe:
The initial warning of the event
The potential overall impact on the
communityThe potential impact of the event on specific
community sectors
The potential consequences, such as
casualties, damage, and loss of servicesThe actions and resources that would be
needed to deal with the situation

Creating scenarios helps to identifysituations that may exist in a disaster.These situations should be used to help
ensure that a community is preparedshould the hazard event occur.

Identifying MitigationActions
Hazard mitigation - Actiontaken to reduce risk to lifeand property from a hazard
Mitigation planning has four steps:
Organize resources
Assess risks
Develop a mitigation plan Implement plan and monitoring progress

Hazard Mitigation Plan
Identify, evaluate, and prioritize actions
Address several questions:
Which actions can help us meet ourmitigation objectives?
What capabilities do we have toimplement these actions?
What impacts will these actions haveon our community?

Prevention
Property protection
Public education and awareness
Natural resource protection
Emergency services
Structural projects
