Hazard Assessment <br />The Kittitas County Hazard Mitigation plan was developed to guide the County in a risk-based <br />approach to become more resilient to the impacts of natural hazards through mitigation <br />planning. The plan identifies areas of risk and assesses the probability, extent, vulnerability and <br />impacts for each natural hazard. The matrix pictured below demonstrates the impact vs. <br />probability developed as a part of the mitigation planning process for Kittitas County. <br />E. Ptanning Assumptions <br />Coordination between emergency response organizations is a daily reality. This interaction is <br />based on the frequent and routine practice of those relationships. <br />Demand for emergency response agencies becomes much greater in times of crisis, and <br />prioritizing the county's response to an emergency becomes critical. Many supporting public and <br />private organizations that normally do not interact except during a crisis may need to be <br />mobilized on a cooperative basis. <br />Some areas of Kittitas County are geographically isolated. ln the event of a widespread <br />disaster, the isolated communities cannot rely on significant outside assistance. The primary <br />response to disaster falls on local government and on each individual citizen. <br />Citizens, businesses, government agencies, and industries must be prepared to rely on their <br />own resources and to provide for themselves during the first fourteen days of an emergency or <br />disaster.- <br />t- <br />November 2024 1 BASIC PLAN <br />Sum of W€lghldd <br />lmprG{FactotB; <br />55 n151624WiniarWeath6r <br />(Blinrd/Heavy Sw, Le Stqn)3 <br />&q1633Earlhouake <br />5qa1t160Fltrxl2 <br />15 40 59Strong Wind/Damaging winds <br />lAa6r.
