Hazard Risk Assessment Instrument Workbook
The Hazard Risk Assessment Instrument (HRAI) workbook is intended to be used as a guide to enable state and local public health agencies to conduct a risk assessment of their community. The tool is designed for use as a standard approach to hazard risk assessment that is adapted to the public health impacts of hazards. HRAI will allow public health agencies to assess the probability of hazards for a particular geographic area and the magnitude of impact given the local resources, allowing for prioritization of response and mitigation options. As such, this workbook will guide public health agencies in determining the likelihood of a hazard occurring, assessing their community’s vulnerabilities and current resources, and prioritizing resources in planning for disasters.
