Developing strategies and implementation tools for mitigating hazards first requires an evaluation of a community’s risk and vulnerability to particular hazards. This chapter provides information on the various hazards that affect Colorado communities, the fundamental steps involved in assessing risk and vulnerability to those hazards, and tips for effectively applying the results of a risk assessment. The procedures outlined in this chapter are often referred to as the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) Process. Common data sources are summarized at the end of this chapter in Summary of Common Hazard Data Sources.
