To begin the planning process and in conjunction with EOP updates, representatives of the political subdivision organizations involved with emergency response shall jointly conduct all of the following tasks:

 

a)         Conduct a hazard identification and risk assessment for the political subdivision:

2)         Collect structural inventory data (including data on critical facilities, residential, commercial, and industrial structures, lifelines, and transportation) to determine potential consequences of identified hazards for community functions, property and sites of potential secondary hazards.

 

c)         Complete a Threat and Hazard Identification Risk Assessment to assess all core capabilities for prevention, protection, response, recovery and mitigation mission areas of the political subdivision, identify shortfalls in core capabilities and develop strategies to alleviate shortfalls in planning, organization, equipment, training and exercises.
