Hazard Frequency Magnitude Warning Time Severity Special Characteristics & Planning Considerations Risk Priority
Sourced from Hazard Vulnerability Matrix Unlikely Negligible 24+ hours Negligible The evaluation of these risks, the economics should be taken into consideration. However, studying the effects of natural risks over a period of time is not necessarily the best method to be utilized. This is due to the fact that, the risk levels may lack some clarity. the effects of the risks can be minimized via, creation of public awareness, establishing warning systems, as well as educating the public. mitigation is possible through better land utilization practices, zoning adoption and establishing codes too. risk priority is given by the severity. in this case, tornado, drought, earthquake, blizzard, riverline flood, and wildfire will be priotized in that order. Low
Possible Limited 12-24 hours Limited Medium
Likely Critical 6-12 hours Critical High
Highly Likely Catastrophic Minimal Catastrophic
Tornado Highly, likely Catastrophic Minimal Catastrophic High
Drought Likely Critical 24 + hours Critical Natural hazards posse more danger than technological and manmade whose rectification can be easily done. In natural hazards, control abilities are minimal. Medium
Blizzard Likely Limited 12 - 24 hours Limited Medium
Earthquake Highly likely Limited Minimal Critical Medium
Riverine flood Possible Limited 12 - 24 hours Limited Low
Wildfire Possible Limited Minimal Limited Medium

Hazard Frequency Magnitude Warning Time Severity Special Characteristics & Planning Considerations Risk Priority
Sourced from Hazard Vulnerability Matrix Unlikely Negligible 24+ hours Negligible Technological hazards and risks are many and this means that the levels to be handled are many and this is a major factor to be considered. This calls for all the technological utilities to have a unique environment of carrying out their functions. The reduction of the hazards can be done via secured computers and networks that are wireless, servers, and passwords too. additionally, workers should be trained on the various IT policies and procedures, data back ups should be put in place to provide local storage and regular updates of the software. Risk priority depends on the severity levels. in this case, all the hazards here will be given equal measure of priority because the severity levels are equal even the consideration of other factors are still equal thus equal priority. Low
Possible Limited 12-24 hours Limited Medium
Likely Critical 6-12 hours Critical High
Highly Likely Catastrophic Minimal Catastrophic
Hazardous material Unlikely Limited Minimal Limited Low
Communication failure Unlikely Limited Minimal Limited Technological hazards can be easily controlled using better technologies unlike natural hazards. Low
Plain/Train/Auto cash Unlikely Limited Minimal Limited Low
Water pipe break Unlikely Limited Minimal Limited Low
Gas leak Unlikely Limited Minimal Limited Low

Hazard Frequency Magnitude Warning Time Severity Special Characteristics & Planning Considerations Risk Priority
Sourced from Hazard Vulnerability Matrix Unlikely Negligible 24+ hours Negligible Basically, man made threats and hazards planning should consider; risk assessment, and emergency planning for the potential hazards, developing testing and training plans as well as communication ones. These hazards can be minimized via designs that will have the hazards eliminated before they take place. this in return provides optimum safety to the workers, assessed risks will enabled the easy identification and qunatification of hazards. the certified systems should be given priority as compared to the personal protective equipment as well as provision of quality trainings which is a key component in preventing hazards. risk priority is given by the secerity levels. therefore, terrorism, civil distrubance, plane/train/auto crash, and wildfire and hazardous materail spill and epidemic should be given prority in that order. Low
Possible Limited 12-24 hours Limited Medium
Likely Critical 6-12 hours Critical High
Highly Likely Catastrophic Minimal Catastrophic
Terrorism Unlikely Catastrophic Minimal Catastrophic Medium
Civil Disturbance Unlikely Catastrophic 24 + hours Critical Medium
Hazardous material spill Unlikely Limited Minimal Limited Just like technological hazards, manmade hazards are also controlled in easy manner because if people change the way they do things, then a danger of potential hazards will be eliminated. Low
Epidemic Unlikely Critical Minimal Limited Low
Plane/Train/Auto crash Unlikely Limited Minimal Critical Medium
Wildfire Unlikely Limited Minimal Limited Low
