Comparative Emergency Management Session 9 Slide Deck Session 9
Session Objectives • Provide a Detailed Definition and Description of Risk in the Context of the Emergency Management Profession. • Provide a background on the various forms of consequences considered in a hazard risk assessment and analysis. • Explain how Likelihood and Consequence may both be represented as either qualitative or quantitative values. • Describe the Process by which Hazard Likelihood and Consequence are Analyzed. • Explain how Individual Risks are Evaluated in a Standardized Format. • Explore Examples of Risk Management in Practice Session 9
Risk • Affects all people and all communities without exception, irrespective of geographic or socioeconomic limits • Every economic, social, policy, or political action or choice made by government and its constituents, and the businesses that operate in those communities, involves specific, often unknown, factors of risk • Risk is Individual and Collective Session 9
Risk Equation RISK = LIKELIHOOD X CONSEQUENCE Session 9
Consequence Factors • Deaths / Fatalities (Human) • Injuries (Human) • Damages (cost, reported in currency, generally US dollars for international comparison) Session 9
Direct Losses • “those first order consequences which occur immediately after an event, such as the deaths and damage caused by the throwing down of buildings in an earthquake” (Smith, 1992) • Examples: Fatalities, Injuries, Relocation Costs, Cleanup/Repair Costs Session 9
Indirect Losses • May emerge much later and may be much less easy to attribute directly to the event. • Examples: Income Loss, Mental Illness, Loss of Institutional Knowledge Session 9
Tangible Losses • Those for which a dollar value can be assigned. • Examples: Response Costs, Repair Costs, Inventory Loss Session 9
Intangible Losses • Cannot be expressed in universally accepted financial terms. • Examples: Cultural Loss, Stress, Mental Illness, Aesthetic Loss Session 9
Quantitative Analysis of Risk • Uses mathematical and/or statistical data to derive numerical descriptions of risk. • Gives a specific data point (dollars, probability, frequency, or number of injuries/fatalities, for example) Session 9
Qualitative Analysis of Risk • Uses defined terms (words) to describe and categorize the likelihood and consequences of risk. • Allows each qualifier (word) to represent a range of possibilities. Session 9
Additional Consequence Measures • Complexity or Difficulty Associated With Emergency Operations • Disruptions to Lives and Livelihoods (Social Disruption) • Disruption to economy • Environmental impact Session 9
Depth of Analysis • The amount of time and money available • The seriousness of the risk • The complexity of the risk Session 9
Full Damage Consequence Analysis • Losses to Structures • Losses to Contents • Losses to Structure Use and Function and Cost of Displacement Session 9

Risk Matrix Session 9
FEMA Risk Matrix Values • Class A. High-risk condition with highest priority for mitigation and contingency planning (immediate action) • Class B. Moderate to high risk condition with risk addressed by mitigation and contingency planning (prompt action) • Class C. Risk condition sufficiently high to give consideration for further mitigation and planning (planned action) • Class D. Low-risk condition with additional mitigation contingency planning (advisory in nature) Session 9
Risk Registers • Name of Risk • Qualitative Likelihood Value • Qualitative Consequence Value • Level of risk • Priority Rating • Additional Information as needed Session 9
SMAUG Methodology • Seriousness • Manageability • Acceptability • Urgency • Growth Session 9
