Hazard Risk Assessment & Mitigation Planning Task Force
Assessing multi-hazard risks and developing mitigation plans that reduce disaster vulnerability before crises strike.
Unit Mission
The Hazard Risk Assessment & Mitigation Planning Task Force assesses multi-hazard risks and develops mitigation plans that reduce disaster vulnerability — conducting comprehensive hazard analyses, vulnerability assessments, and risk modeling to identify the threats facing communities and develop the mitigation strategies needed to reduce their impact. The task force applies risk science, hazard modeling, and mitigation planning to produce the risk assessments and mitigation plans that guide pre-disaster investment, land-use decisions, and preparedness activities.
Key Functions
Risk Assessment
Conducting multi-hazard risk assessments — analyzing the probability and consequence of natural and man-made hazards, assessing community vulnerability and exposure, and producing the risk profiles needed for mitigation planning.
Mitigation Planning
Developing hazard mitigation plans — identifying mitigation actions, prioritizing investments, and developing the implementation strategies needed to reduce community vulnerability to the hazards they face.
Risk Communication
Communicating risk to communities and decision-makers — translating technical risk assessments into accessible formats that enable informed decisions about mitigation investment, land use, and preparedness.
