Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
After identifying the hazards, these hazards will be prioritized using a method recommended by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Each hazard is graded on four criteria, using a scale of 1 to 4. Each criterion is assigned a weighting value, and all scores are aggregated to determine a final priority for each hazard.
The four criteria for each hazard are:
Criteria
1
2
3
4
Unlikely
Occasionally
Likely
Highly Likely
Probability: Estimated Likelihood that the hazard will occur in the future. Location: The size of the affected area from a typical future occurrence. Maximum Probable Extent: The estimated damage to facilities from a typical failure. Secondary Impacts: The effects to the community beyond physical damage
Negligible
Limited
Significant
Extensive
Weak – little to no damage
Moderate – some damage, loss of service for days
Severe – devastating damage, loss of service for months
Extreme – catastrophic damage, uninhabitable conditions High – major loss of function, downtime, and/or evacuations
Negligible – no loss of function, downtime, and/or evacuations
Limited – minimal loss of function, downtime, and/or evacuations
