3. Session 83 Hazard Identification Factors Geologic Meteorological Hydrologic Biological Economic Technological Political Social

4. Session 84 Hazard-Specific Approach Resources may be limited to only those hazards that present an actual threat Mitigation methods, which actually do address hazards individually, can be more easily identified and subsequently prioritized Hazard specific expertise and equipment may be acquired to address the unique response needs of certain hazards Hazard risk can be mapped out to better delineate the geographic limits of risk, and thus allow for the prioritization of resources and effective land use planning.

5. Session 85 Hazard Identification Must be exhaustive and inclusive Product: a detailed list of all hazards that have caused disasters in the past or that have the potential to result in future disaster events, becomes the basis of the hazards risk management process

6. Session 86 Hazard Profiling Hazard profiling is a process of describing the hazard in its local context –A general description of the hazard –A local historical background of the hazard –Local vulnerability –Possible consequences –Estimated likelihood

7. Session 87 Hazard Identification Methods Prescriptive or Creative Brainstorming Research on the disaster / emergency history Review of existing plans Similar hazard identification efforts Mapping / GIS Interviews Site visits SMEs Hazard Mitigation Officer Hazard Maps Checklists
