Total number of staff in your organization: 1-5 6-20 21-50 51-100 100+ Section 2: Hazards Assessment In this section, we ask you to evaluate various hazard types that could impact Staten Island. For each hazard, please provide your assessment across the following four categories using a scale of 1 (Very Low) to 5 (Very High): Likelihood: How likely is it that this hazard will affect Staten Island in the foreseeable future? Human Impact: If this hazard occurs, what is the risk of harm to people, including potential for injury, death, collective trauma, or other severe outcomes? Property/Infrastructure Impact: What is the potential for physical damage to buildings, infrastructure, and other critical facilities within the borough? Service Impact: How likely is it that this hazard would disrupt business operations and service delivery? Your input will help identify which hazards pose the greatest risks to Staten Islandโs communities and inform strategies to mitigate their effects. We invite you to share any additional insights or concerns at the end of this section.

Section 3: Vulnerabilities Assessment This section focuses on evaluating Staten Islandโs overall vulnerabilities and preparedness for responding to various hazards. Please approach each question with an all-hazards mindset, considering resilience across multiple potential emergencies or disasters. Staten Island's Overall Resilience For each category, rate Staten Islandโs resilience as a borough, keeping in mind general infrastructure, community resources, and systemic preparedness. Note: Use an inverted scale for this chart: 1 = VERY Resilient 5 = NOT AT ALL Resilient CategoryResilience Rating (1-5)Transportation InfrastructureResilience Rating of Transportation InfrastructurePhysical Infrastructure (e.g., buildings, bridges)Resilience Rating of Physical Infrastructure (e.g., buildings, bridges)Access to Health/Medical ServicesResilience Rating of Access to Health/Medical ServicesAccess to Mental Health SupportsResilience Rating of Access to Mental Health SupportsFinancial Stability/Resilience of the CommunityResilience Rating of Financial Stability/Resilience of the CommunitySocial Fabric/Resilience of the CommunityResilience Rating of Social Fabric/Resilience of the CommunityHuman/Social Capital for Emergency ReliefResilience Rating of Human/Social Capital for Emergency ReliefAre there specific strengths or shortcomings you believe should be noted when considering Staten Islandโs general resilience to hazards?Staten Island's Preparedness for Specific Hazards For each hazard type, rate Staten Islandโs preparedness and capacity to respond effectively across the following categories. Note: Use an inverted scale for this chart: 1 = High Preparedness/Capacity 5 = Very Low Preparedness/Capacity Some Notes for Guidance: A: Staten Islandโs overall preparedness: Includes infrastructure, emergency responders, government connectivity, and available supports and services. B: SI COADโs preparedness for a coordinated response: Reflects your perspective of the COADโs readiness to provide situational awareness and support to its network based on your engagement and experience. C: Your organizationโs capacity for internal response: Considers resources, plans, and effectiveness in addressing community crises and/or needs.
