to Consider

Unit 3

Visual 3.1

Unit 3 Overview

This unit describes:

The importance of identifyingand analyzing possible hazardsthat could occur at an event

The risks and vulnerabilitiesassociated with each hazard


3/32

Visual 3.2

Unit Objectives

At the conclusion of this unit, participantswill be able to:

Identify hazards that are most likely toaffect special events

Identify the risks presented by thehazards


4/32

Visual 3.3

Unit Objectives (cont.)

Identify strategies for overcoming andminimizing risks and hazardsassociated with a special event

Describe the elementsof a contingency plan

Visual 3.4

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


6/32

Visual 3.5

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


7/32

Visual 3.6

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


8/32

Visual 3.7

Activity 3.1 - Hazard ID

Divide into small groups

Identify 5 hazards most likely to occurat your event

Reconvene and discusswith the group


9/32

Visual 3.8

Profile Hazards

A hazard profile determines:

Magnitude

Frequency Duration

Speed of onset

Profile Hazards (cont.)

Use Hazard Profile Worksheet

Consult all available sources of inforegarding the event

Complete profile for each hazard

Do not ignore low-riskhazards plan for these

anyway

Visual 3.10

Activity 3.2 ProfilingHazards

Same groups as previous exercise

Use worksheets in Student Manual

Complete hazard profile form for one ofthe hazards identified

Reconvene and discusswith the class

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


13/32

Visual 3.12

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?


14/32

Visual 3.13


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.


15/32

Visual 3.14


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.


16/32

Visual 3.15


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.

17/32

Visual 3.16


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


18/32

Visual 3.17

Activity 3.3 Ranking theHazards


Use worksheets in Student Manual

Complete the Hazard VulnerabilityAssessment for each hazard identifiedand determine the overall risk value

Reconvene and discuss

with the class


19/32

Visual 3.18

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


20/32

Visual 3.19

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


21/32

Visual 3.20

Plan for Vulnerabilities(cont.)

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.

Activity 3.4 Planning forVulnerabilities


Use worksheet in Student Manual

Complete the scenario worksheet foryour most highly ranked hazard

Reconvene and discuss with the class

Terrorism Hazards

Special events are prime targets forterrorist activity by activist groups:

Political

Religious

Racial

Environmental

Special Interest

Terrorism Hazards (cont.)

Planning can lessen likelihood ofsurprise incident

Descriptive intelligence gathering

Predictive interpretation/probabilityforecast

Operational readiness (training, equipment,practiced response)


25/32

Visual 3.24


Law enforcement should take lead inforecasting and planning

Planners should assign roles and

responsibilities for agencies

ICS is important for response

Planners and local law enforcementshould work with State and Federalpartners to gather information and

develop contingency plans State and local data from Federally

mandated assessments should be

reviewed (Jurisdiction and VulnerabilityAssessment)

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


28/32

Visual 3.27

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?


29/32

Visual 3.28

Mitigation Categories

Mitigation actions have six broadcategories:

Prevention

Property protection

Public education and awareness

Natural resource protection

Emergency services

Structural projects

Mitigation Implementation

To implement a mitigation plan andactivities, you must identify:

Resources

Timeframes

Partners

Responsibilities
