How do you recognize and address your vulnerabilities to disasters?
The internationally respected Standard on Continuity, Emergency, and Crisis Management (NFPA 1600 / soon to become NFPA 1660) defines risk as a measure of the probability and severity of adverse effects that result from exposure to a hazard.

Drawing on internationally respected approaches for disaster management and vulnerability assessment, the Damocles Risk Assessor App applies these key elements to your context.
1. Identify hazards or threats relevant to you

Use it to filter which threats or hazards might be relevant to you.



Fine – add or tailor your own. The Damocles app supports that option.

2. Filter relevant hazards for significance

3. Consider the level of vulnerability to each significant hazard – before a disaster
4. Consider the level of impact an extreme event had (or is having)

5. Take action where the risk is assessed as high
