RISK ASSESSMENT

Why Do A Risk Assessment?

Purpose:

Evaluate vulnerability to likely hazards;

Prioritize those actions that most effectively reduce or avoid future loss.

“If I had an hour to solve a problem I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.”

-Albert Einstein

3 Step Process

The Age of Innocence is So Over!

1. Can we continue to develop areas at risk?

2. Can we allow areas that suffer repetitive loss to rebuild in place?

3. Will taxpayers throughout the country be

willing to subsidize risky behavior?

The Age of Innocence is So Over!

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again

and expecting different results

Time for a new approach
