Each community faces multi-hazards. Conducting a hazard identification and risk assessment assists in writing an Emergency Operations Plan with hazard specific annexes. Use the FEMA resource below to identify a hazard that presents an imminent danger to your community. Discuss the following basic components of a risk assessment in your initial post:
- Hazard identification;
- Profile of hazard events;
- Inventory of assets; and
- Estimation of potential human and economic losses based on the exposure and vulnerability of people, buildings, and infrastructure.
