Hazard and vulnerability assessment (HVA) is a foundation of public health and emergency management. Understanding what could happen enables preparedness.
Check out "Hazard & Vulnerability Assessment: Understanding What Could Happen," which was delivered to the Massachusetts Health Officers Association, to learn about the elements of an HVA. The relationships between hazards, probability of occurrence, magnitude, assets at risk, vulnerabilities, and impacts are explained. A methodology for conducting an HVA will be presented, and many hazard scenarios of interest to public health officers are included.
Go to the "Resources" page of the Preparedness, LLC website to access many resources to help you conduct a risk assessment.
