Hazard Vulnerability Analysis

Hazard Vulnerability Analysis (HVA) is a process used to identify, assess, and prioritize potential risks that could impact a community or organization. It involves evaluating various hazards, such as natural disasters, technological failures, or health emergencies, and understanding how vulnerable people or assets are to these threats. By analyzing both the likelihood of these hazards occurring and their potential effects, HVA helps decision-makers develop strategies to mitigate risks, improve preparedness, and enhance response plans, ensuring better safety and resilience against future challenges.
