<br /> Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022 <br />Risk Assessment <br />- 35 - <br />Risk Assessment <br />What is a Risk Assessment? <br />Conducting a risk assessment can provide information regarding: the location of hazards; the <br />value of existing land and property in hazard locations; and an analysis of risk to life, property, <br />and the environment that may result from natural hazard events. Specifically, the five levels of a <br />risk assessment are as follows: <br /> <br />1. Hazard Identification <br />2. Profiling Hazard Events <br />3. Vulnerability Assessment/Inventory of Existing Assets <br />4. Risk Analysis <br />5. Assessing Vulnerability/Analyzing Development Trends <br /> <br />Q&A | ELEMENT B: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT | B1a. <br />Q: Does the plan include a general description of all natural hazards that can affect each jurisdiction? <br />(Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(i)) <br />A: See Hazard Identification below. <br /> <br />Q&A | ELEMENT B: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT | B1b. <br />Q: Does the plan provide rationale for the omission of any natural hazards that are commonly recognized <br />to affect the jurisdiction(s) in the planning area? (Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(i)) <br />A: See Hazard Identification below. <br /> <br />Q&A | ELEMENT B: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT | B1c. <br />Q: Does the plan include a description of the location for all natural hazards that can affect each <br />jurisdiction? (Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(i)) <br />A: See Hazard Identification below. <br /> <br />1) Hazard Identification <br />This section is the description of the geographic extent, potential intensity, and the probability of <br />occurrence of a given hazard. Maps are used in this plan to display hazard identification data. <br />The City of Santa Ana utilized the categorization of hazards as identified in California’s State <br />Hazard Mitigation Plan, including Earthquakes, Floods, Levee Failures, Wildfires, Landslides and <br />Earth Movements, Tsunami, Climate-Related Hazards, Volcanoes, and Other Hazards. <br /> <br />Next, the Planning Team reviewed existing documents to determine which of these hazards <br />posed the most significant threat to the City and its ability to deliver services. In other words, <br />which hazard would likely result in a proclamation of local emergency. <br /> <br />
