U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Review Select Technical Assistance Responses. The result shows higher risk zone where the spatial intensity of hazard and vulnerability coincide each other. Hazard vulnerability analysis (HVA) and risk assessment are systematic approaches to identifying hazards or risks that are most likely to have an impact on a healthcare facility and the surrounding community. Revise land use plans and protect critical infrastructure. Ideally, an HVA should be conducted with input from experts from outside the institution/agency to ensure the incorporation of additional context for the risk assessment. stream Principal Component Analysis revealed 5 components central to social vulnerability. The Kentucky Transportation Center and Kentucky . Although they occur in all parts of the world, some regions are more vulnerable to certain hazards than others. They reduce visibility and air and road traffic can be disrupted. Swarms can be dozens of kilometres long and travel up to 200 km a day. (2012).

The moving snow also pushes air ahead of it as an avalanche wind strong enough to cause serious structural damage to buildings, woodlands and mountain resorts. Coping with climate change impacts in one economic sector is already complicated. dvA"Zjo . These measurements are calculated using average past conditions, but they cannot be used to predict future outcomes for a community. This free two-day course is offered in several locations across the U.S. and helps participants understand risks to their facilities and mitigation strategies. The processing methods used to create the National Risk Index have produced results similar to those from other natural hazard risk analyses conducted on a smaller scale. It includes complementary graphical charts and may be used as a reference for other organizations or coalitions when developing their HVA protocols. 0000012937 00000 n
The snapshots incorporate data from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain maps, U.S. Geological Survey critical facilities database, and NOAA land cover and demographics databases. When weather and ecological conditions favour breeding, the insects are forced into a small area. << endobj The National Risk Index does not consider the intricate economic and physical interdependencies that exist across geographic regions. For example, jurisdictional emergency management, NOAA, and state agencies may have quantitative and qualitative probability and impact data based on risk assessments and actual events that can contribute to the facility/coalition HVA. Severe thunderstorms are associated with all or combinations of heavy rain, large hail, very strong winds and occasionally tornadoes or snow. 10 0 obj ASSESSING THE IMPACTS OF, AND VULNERABILITY AND ADAPTATION TO, CLIMATE CHANGE 13 3.1 Information gathering - data, systematic observation and monitoring 13 3.2 Information analysis - reporting of impacts, vulnerability and adaptation 15 IV. 8 0 obj The authors of this paper explore the variability in vulnerability to natural hazards among 132 urban areas using three indices of vulnerability: social; built environment; and hazard impact. For instance, economic analysis methodologies can help to select the most important interventions, and budget tagging methods can ensure spending is consistent with expectations. Nationwide data available for some risk factors are rudimentary at this time. This resource provides access to a suite of tools that support emergency preparedness at the community and national level. 0000008741 00000 n

Poverty and the lack of access to basic servicesincluding infrastructure, financial services, health care, and social protectionare strong predictors of vulnerability to climate change.
