Every community faces a unique mix of hazards, from natural events to human‑caused disruptions — and understanding those risks is the foundation of effective emergency planning. This session walks through how to identify local threats, analyze their potential impacts, and prioritize what matters most for preparedness. We’ll explore practical tools for assessing risk, gathering community data, and engaging partners who can help paint a clearer picture of local vulnerabilities. Whether you’re new to emergency management or strengthening an existing program, this webinar offers a grounded, accessible approach to understanding the hazards that shape your community’s resilience.
