Disaster preparedness

Disaster preparedness
Scenario: For the purposes of this question, you are an independent contractor who specializes in helping municipalities quantify and prioritize loss

potential on large governmental structures when faced with the potential for a severe weather event, such as a flood, hurricane, or tornado. In this

case, youve been asked by your local City Manager to evaluate the security of your largest structure or complex and to provide security recommendations

based on your analysis. It may be a stadium, a water plant, an open reservoir, or even an emergency operations center. You pick the facility in your

area and you pick the weather event for your area.
Question:
Using the Decision Matrix in Chapter 4 in the text (Broder, J. F., & Tucker, E. (2012). Risk analysis and the security survey (4th ed.). Waltham, MA:

Butterworth-Heinemann. ISBN: 978-0-12-382233-8) , provide a brief descriptive summary of the principal challenges facing disaster preparedness officials

in your area, in trying to effectively predict and measure the relative risk of potential damage from whatever weather event you have chosen. Make

certain you adequately describe the environment (urban, rural, suburban, etc.) and that you include the specific risk in the real day-to-day

environment. (Note the examples given on pages 31 and 32 in your text.)
