Risk Assessment and Analysis

Risk Assessment

1. Hazard assessment – knowing the face of the hazard---hazard characterization 
2. Vulnerability assessment- identification of element at risk and its degree of vulnerability (time and space in proximity of element at risk to the hazard)  
3. Capacity assessment – Degree of vulnerability of element at risk (High, Medium and Low categories) in relationship to the capacity to survive and bounce back

Capacity gaps –

1.Hazard specific (Prevention, Mitigation)
2.Different degree of Vulnerability of element at Risk (Individual Survivability and Community readiness)
2.Conclusion either the risk is high or low
