Respondent Information

Hazards Assessment

This section evaluates hazards based on probability (likelihood of occurrence) and risk/impact (potential consequences). A higher score indicates a greater likelihood or more severe impact.

• Probability should be assessed based on historical occurrences, emerging trends, environmental/geographic factors, and industry-specific data.
• Risk/Impact should be evaluated based on threats to life, disruptions to services, infrastructure damage, financial/legal implications, and community trust.

These scores will help determine the most pressing hazards requiring attention.

Staten Island's Preparedness

For each hazard type, rate Staten Island’s preparedness and capacity to respond effectively. Note: Use an inverted scale for this chart:

• 1 = High Preparedness/Capacity
• 3 - Moderate Preparedness
• 5 = Very Low Preparedness/Capacity

You might consider:

• A. Staten Island’s overall preparedness, thinking broadly about borough-wide readiness, including government resources, emergency services, and physical infrastructure, and available supports and services.
• B. SI COAD’s preparedness, your perspective of the COAD’s readiness to provide situational awareness, facilitate coordination, and support to its network during a disaster.
• C. Your organization’s capacity, such as internal and on-site resources, emergency plans, training, and ability to respond effectively to crises.
• D. Community capacity and preparedness, such as the strength and emergency readiness of the borough’s workforce, volunteers, financial resources, and mutual aid networks.
