Hazard Vulnerability Matrix Worksheet

You completed the Hazard Vulnerability Matrix Worksheet to begin the process in developing your HVA. Over the next 2 weeks you will utilize the Matrix to complete the Hazard Vulnerability Assessment Worksheet (one worksheet for each type of hazard; manmade, technological, natural) (adapted from FEMA course IS559). This tool assists the Emergency Manager in determining the probability and severity of the hazard. The goal is to identify the hazards that pose the greatest risk to your community. Should you not have any information available regarding a hazard, make that known in the cell associated with the hazard and item of consideration.

Keep in mind that the more meticulous you are the less problems you will have when you develop your EOP in EDMG220.
